Views That Allow UPDATE Statements

Creating Views That Can Be Used With an UPDATE Statement

  • There are some restrictions to creating a VIEW if you want to be able to run an UPDATE statement against it.
    • SELECT list cannot include a DISTINCT clause.
    • SELECT list cannot contain aggregate functions (SUM, COUNT, MIN, MAX, AVG, COUNT(*))
    • SELECT statement cannot use GROUP BY or HAVING. The VIEW cannot include a UNION operator.
  • If you use any of the restricted statements, your view will be read-only.
