HANA CF: SQL View vs Information View?

Hi,

This question may sound a bit silly, But I am just bit curious that since HANA ( I am using Cloud Foundry ), provides all kinds of views, SQL Views as well as 3 Information Views (Attribute, Analytical & Calculation), Is there a difference in the use cases of the 2 kinds of views? If no, then what should be the best practice?

Blog post What is the difference CalcView versus SQL View? | SAP Blogs should give you a detailed answer.

One addition: Attribute and Analytical views are outdated for quite some time now. You don't have to think about them anymore (except you have to convert existing ones to calculation views).
