Hi,

This might be an easy question :

Are views updateable in Sysbase ?

I have a Microsoft SQl Server background and I know you can update and insert rows in a view in MS SQL Server , just wondering if Sybase has the same capability .


Thanks,
Hang

 
MS SQL Server and Sybase are quite similar on the capabilitis to updete views, there are some restrictions for a view to be updatable:

- Do not include computed columns
- Do not inlcude aggregate values (group by, compute)
- Do not reference more than one table (update and insert sometimes are possible)
- View with check option only allow to manage rows visible within the view
- Insert not possible if not null columns are not included in the view
- Update not possible if Identity columns are included
