Views are virtual tables. that suggests they need to be updatable, simply as "real" or base tables are. in truth, view updatability isn’t simply fascinating, it’s crucial, for sensible purposes in addition to theoretical ones. yet view updating has consistently been a arguable subject. Ever because the relational version first seemed, there was frequent skepticism as to if (in normal) view updating is even possible.
In stark distinction to this traditional knowledge, this booklet indicates how perspectives, similar to base tables, can always be up to date (so lengthy because the updates don’t violate any integrity constraints). extra more often than not, it exhibits how updating always should paintings, whether the objective is a base desk or a view. The proposed scheme is a hundred% in step with the relational version, yet fairly diversified from the way in which updating works in SQL items today.
This publication can:
- Help database items increase within the future
- Help with a "roll your personal" implementation, absent such product improvements
- Make you conscious of the an important function of predicates and constraints
- Show you ways relational items are fairly speculated to behave
Anyone with a certified curiosity within the relational version, relational know-how, or database platforms commonly can reap the benefits of this book.
