First of all, it isn't all that hard to figure out whether a view is probably updatable (the presence of the respective rules would be a strong hint). And second, if it's not, you get a fine error message and can move on. So there is really no good reason for client tools to prevent you from using data entry forms on views. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
