Or an alternative to views where tables can be defined with virtual
fields which point to functions. So for example I can say:
SELECT balance, name FROM customers WHERE balance < 0;
...where balance actually performs a behind the scenes JOIN against a
transactions table and totals the customers credits and debits. I
realize views can do this but for adding a single dynamic field they
are cumbersome and correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can
UPDATE against a view.
You are wrong, you can make updatable views.
Yes you can but not out of the box. You have to write some rules to make this
go, isn't it ?
