Inserting data into multiple tables through an sql view

Question

Is there any way to insert data into multiple tables through a view in mysql?

Answer 1

The MySQL Reference Manual says this about updatable views:

Some views are updatable. That is, you can use them in statements such as UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT to update the contents of the underlying table. For a view to be updatable, there must be a one-to-one relationship between the rows in the view and the rows in the underlying table. There are also certain other constructs that make a view nonupdatable.

The WITH CHECK OPTION clause can be given for an updatable view to prevent inserts or updates to rows except those for which the WHERE clause in the select_statement is true. The WITH CHECK OPTION clause was implemented in MySQL 5.0.2.
