Currently, views are read only: the system will not allow an insert,
update, or delete on a view. You can get the effect of an updatable
- view by creating rules that rewrite inserts, etc. on the view into
+ view by creating <literal>INSTEAD</> triggers on the view, which
+ must convert attempted inserts, etc. on the view into
appropriate actions on other tables. For more information see
- <xref linkend="sql-createrule">.
+ <xref linkend="sql-createtrigger">. Another possibility is to create
+ rules (see <xref linkend="sql-createrule">), but in practice triggers
+ are easier to understand and use correctly.
