I am creating a HUGE query with 5 or 6 join, and want to turn this into a view. But, I need too be able to update this view. Is this possible?
By update, I mean, run an SQL UPDATE command, alter a value, and then let the changed values filter through to the appropriate tables.
Certain views can be updatable in MySQL, but there are constraints with them. At the very least, there must be a 1 to 1 relationship between the rows in the view and the rows in the underlying table.
