Views are not update-able by default unlike a table. It is possible
to make a view update-able I you build custom rules into the view.
However, I should mention that even with custom rules, you really
shouldn't attempt to make an update-able view based upon a query that
joins or unions two or more tables together.

Here is how to make a view update-able:

And here is the current stance taken on the use of update-able views:
