9. 3. 1. Creating an Updatable View

Updatable to mean that a view can be a part of an UPDATE, an INSERT, or a DELETE statement.

To be updatable, the records in the view must have a one-to-one relationship with the records in the underlying tables.

Views are not updatable in the following cases:

The view is created with the algorithm specified as TEMPTABLE.

A table in the FROM clause is reference by a subquery in the WHERE statement.

There is a subquery in the SELECT clause.

The SQL statement defining the view joins tables.

One of the tables in the FROM clause is a non-updatable view.

The SELECT statement of the view contains an aggregate function such as SUM(), COUNT(), MAX(), MIN(), and so on.

The keywords DISTINCT, GROUP BY, HAVING, UNION, or UNION ALL appear in the defining SQL statement.
