Any view may be marked as updatable. In many circumstances the view definition may allow the view to be inherently updatable without the need to manually define a trigger to handle INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations.
An inherently updatable view cannot be defined with a query that has:
A set operation (INTERSECT, EXCEPT, UNION).
SELECT DISTINCT
Aggregation (aggregate functions, GROUP BY, HAVING)
A LIMIT clause
A UNION ALL can define an inherently updatable view only if each of the UNION branches is itself inherently updatable. A view defined by a UNION ALL can support inherent INSERTs if it is a Federated Optimizations#Partitioned Union and the INSERT specifies values that belong to a single partition.
Any view column that is not mapped directly to a column is not updatable and cannot be targeted by an UPDATE set clause or be an INSERT column.
If a view is defined by a join query or has a WITH clause it may still be inherently updatable. However in these situations there are further restrictions and the resulting query plan may execute multiple statements. For a non-simple query to be updatable, it is required:
An INSERT/UPDATE can only modify a single Key-preserved Table.
To allow DELETE operations there must be only a single Key-preserved Table.
If the default handling is not available or you wish to have an alternative implementation of an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, then you may use Update Procedures (Triggers) to define procedures to handle the respective operations.
