I clearly understand that writing to views - as opposed to tables - can lead to
difficulties and that OOo cannot easily solve these. If a query involving
several tables has been created within OOo it's ok that they are not writeable
because it is impossible to tell which of the joined table the data should go
to.
BUT: If a database offers views which are easily writeable because the issue was
solved on the database side by including rules on how to deal with the
situation, OOo Base should not stop the users from taking advantage from this
feature.
Views defined in PostgreSQL (or in Oracle, for that matter) show as "tables" in
OOo Base, but have a different icon (containing an arrow). Please refrain from
taking the information that this is a view as a hint that this "table" is not
writeable. The database will complain if it cannot write to it, but it is quite
likely that it will work fine if the view has been set up by a knowledgeable
person.
I connected PostgreSQL via JDBC org.postgresql.Driver to OOo Base.
Thank you in advance for understanding the problem. I am sure the person this
issue will be addressed to is in the position to find the position in the big
heap of code where it says
if (table_type == "view") { deny writing }
and just delete this little piece of bad code from our beloved OOo.
Ust let the database do its job!
