This is something I'm not sure can be done.  Can somebody help
me out?

I have a single table with a DEVICE_TYPE field, and four views -
one for each valid device type.  DEVICE_TYPE is a NOT NULL field.
The views are defined like
   create view mytype_vw as
   select col1, col2, col3
   from   table
   where  device_type = 'MYTYPE';

DEVICE_TYPE is not displayed, it is inferred from the view.
If I want to insert a row through the view, how can I populate
the DEVICE_TYPE field?

TIA,
Mike
