Answer / haarika valasa

IF view is created based on only one base table we can
perform all DML operations.

If view is created based on multiple table using joins and
goup by functions etc..than we cannot perform directly DML
operations.

Using Instead of Trigger we can perform DML operations on
complex view.

Answer / suman

Yes we can insert records if view having one to one table. but we cannot create insert if we have multiple table join query

create or replace view v_emp
as select * from emp;

insert into v_emp(empno,ename,job,mgr,hiredate,sal,comm,deptno)
values(1111,'suman','CLERK',1111,SYSDATE,11,1,20);

create or replace view v_emp
as select empno,ENAME,job,deptno from emp;

insert into v_emp(empno,ename,job,deptno)
values(1112,'suman','CLERK',20);

SELECT * FROM V_EMP WHERE EMPNO=1111;
SELECT * FROM V_EMP WHERE EMPNO=1112;

create or replace view v_emp_dept
as select empno,e.deptno,dname from emp e, dept b where e.deptno=b.deptno;

insert into v_emp_dept(empno,deptno,dname)
values(1112,'suman','CLERK');

select * from v_emp_dept where empno=1111;
