When creating an updatable view, MySQL allows you to specify how much the parser will do.
An updatable view is part of an UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE statement
This is done with the WITH CHECK OPTION syntax.
Enabling check options tells the parser to review the WHERE clause when processing a statement to update a record or set of records in the view.
With check options enabled, you can only insert, update, or delete any records existing from the view.
Two keywords can be added to the WITH CHECK OPTION statement: LOCAL and CASCADING.
LOCAL tells that when updating a view, MySQL should ensure that the data being updated is part of the view.
The default is LOCAL.
WITH CHECK OPTION is used with only an updatable view.
If the algorithm is set to TEMPTABLE, or the SQL statement uses syntax or a keyword that makes the view not updatable, specifying WITH CHECK OPTION will result in a MySQL error: ERROR 1368 (HY000) at line 5: CHECK OPTION on non-updatable view.
The CASCADING option checks both the current view, and if the current view is based on another view, the check looks at that view as well to verify that the change conforms to the view definition.
With the CASCADING keyword, the query parser continues down through all views until the parser reaches a table to verify that all column and row changes that are in the issued statement are defined in the hierarchy of views.
Creating views based on other views is covered in the "Defining Views of Views" section later in this chapter.
