1) Can I create a trigger on a view?
2) Do triggers cascade?
Say I have an insert trigger on a table.And, I have an insert trigger on a view that references this tableIf I do an insert on the view, will both triggers fire?
Can not have triggers on Views, Views use RULES which are DO INSTEAD.

Yes if you have an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rule on a view that inserts into a table then that table's triggers will be executed.
Please note RULES should be avoided beyond the use case for VIEWS. RULES are executed very early in the query tree; it is not trivial to write rules on Tables.
Thanks
