Tablespace consumed by views

Question

I was in an SQL class where the instructor said "DBAs don't like it when users create views, because they will clobber tablespace."

Obviously, I understand that any schema object will consume some tablespace, but isn't it a huge exaggeration to say that views will eat up tablespace, since all you need to store is just a query (and privileges and some other metadata), and as such they won't take significantly more space than an ordinary row in an ordinary table?

Answer 1

Not true, unless they meant "materialised views"

Permanent tablespaces are used to store user data and user created objects like tables, indexes and materialized views.
