Hide columns with sql

Question

I am creating a table where there is a column for the particular row to be hidden. What do I do to make that particular row to stay hidden?
Ex:
ID Name Hide
1 joe N
2 john N
Now after I edit the data of joe to Hide=Y I want the table to display:
ID Name Hide
2 john N
anyone know what statements i need to do? thanks

Here is one way. You could create a view for the table.
SQL> select * from mytable1;
        ID NAME                           H
         1 joe                            N
         2 john                           N
         2 harry                          Y
SQL>  create view myview as
  2   select * from mytable1
  3   where hide = 'N';
View created.
SQL> select * from myview;
        ID NAME                           H
         1 joe                            N
         2 john                           N
