Source: Writing SQL to display content in Drupal? The #VIEWS module will do it for you! by Nowoczesny Drupal (Premiered August 15, 2025)

In this tutorial, Grzegorz Bartman, co-CEO at Droptica, demonstrates how Drupal's Views contrib module replaces manual SQL queries with a no-code interface for building content listings. The session covers choosing data sources, display modes (Content vs. Fields), and creating multiple displays within one view. Bartman explains relationships for combining entity data, exposed filters for user interaction, and URL arguments for dynamic filtering.

The video also highlights common pitfalls beginners face and introduces companion modules like Views Bulk Operations, Better Exposed Filters, Views Data Export, EVA, and Views Slideshow. With built-in SQL generation and security handling, Views ensures formatted output without coding. This 28-minute walkthrough is aimed at Drupal administrators and site builders seeking efficiency in content management.
