SQL2000 Read Only View

Question

I've checked BOL and I don't see what I'm looking for. I know that Oracle has a "WITH READ ONLY" option when creating a view. I don't see this option in SQL2000. Do I need to add an INSTEADOF trigger to accomplish this? In short, I don't want users of the view to be able to update the data.

Thanks ST

Answer 1

two options, don't give users insert, delete or update permissions to the view

deny update, insert, delete on ViewName to [user name(s) here]

or create a the view on a read only filegroup (this means that nobody can insert or update or delete)

Answer 2

Thanks for that. I knew of those but neither are possible. I'll create "instead of " triggers which throw errors.

Thanks ST
