Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.tools -> Need help creating an updatable view
Good day,
I'm have a bit of difficulty with a view that I created for one of my tables.
create or replace view v_comms as
select "Comm ID" as comm_id,
"Contact ID" as contact_id,
"Project Lead ID" as lead_id,
"Topic" as topic,
"Entry Date" as date_entry,
"Entry By" as user_entry,
"Modified Date" as date_modified,
"Modified By" as user_modified,
"Notes" as notes
from comms This view is designed to convert mixed-case column names into valid Oracle column names. Otherwise, the view has the exact same columns as the original table. If I attempt to update a column in this view, namely the notes column which is a LONG, I get the following error:
ORA-01732: data manipulation operation not legal on this view
The querying the user_updatable_columns for this view show me that all are updatable.
My problem stems from the fact the the front end tools that I am currently using to access this table will not recognize mixed case columns.
Can somebody tell me what I'm missing here? A pointer to the documentation that describes this behaviour would work for me.
Thanks in advance.
