[dba-issues] [Issue 96716] writing to a writeable Pos tgreSQL view does not work

Yes, if you just set up a view without a rule it won't be writable. But since it is very easy for any PostgreSQL administrator to make certain views writable and certain views with Oracle are writable without any special treatment, it is still WRONG that OOo Base as a front end interferes and denies writing to a writable view. If a view is actually not writable, which is also very common, OOo Base should just take the error message from the database system and forward it to the user. Anything else is bad behaviour. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

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! - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
