Summary
SQL views that are backed by a single base table are now valid targets for
INSERT,UPDATE, andDELETEstatements.A view is considered updatable when its definition is a plain single-table
SELECT— no joins, no aggregates, noDISTINCT, no partial column projection, and no views-on-views. Any view that does not meet these criteria raisesVIEW_NOT_UPDATABLE.Architecture
At planning time, when the DML visitor encounters a view name as the target of an
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, it:ViewUpdatabilityAnalyzer).UPDATEandDELETE, automatically injects the view's ownWHEREpredicate alongside any user-supplied predicate, so that the view's filtering semantics are preserved. A predicate alias translation step is required because the view's predicates were compiled against the view's own quantifier, not the DML's freshly-created base-table access.INSERT, the row is written to the base table as-is.WITH CHECK OPTIONis not yet supported.
