Hi Joey, you're in the right place! > * Views only apply to SELECTs Views can be made updateable by defining suitable rules for them, that is usually the way people solve this problem. See chapters http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/rules-views.html and http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/rules-update.html in the user manual. You should also take a look at Veil (http://veil.projects.postgresql.org/), which uses views to implement something that sounds much like what you're proposing. You should also be aware of an issue with this approach: http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4ae02df0.40...@enterprisedb.com. Some ideas on plugging that hole were discussed, but unfortunately there was no clear consensus and no progress since. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
