How do I make a view non updateable? I want to create a view so that I
will not be able to update, insert or delete the view so that base
table is not affected (except dropping the view itself). Thanks.

Okay found a solution. If I introduce an aggregate function then it
works. So I ended up aggregating all the columns from the select list.
So instead of saying:
Create view view1 as
Select column1, column2
>From Base_table

Not Updateable:
Create view view1 as
Select column1, column2
>From Base_table
Group by column1,column2

I wish there is an easier way than this.

create trigger T_NoUpdates on view1 INSTEAD OF INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE AS
RAISERROR('No updates allowed',16,1)

Hi othellomy,

The REVOKE keyword is to revoke a permission that was earlier GRANTed
explicitly.

To explicitly deny access to an object that would by default allow
access, you use DENY:

DENY DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE ON v_t1 TO ALL

However, this will not affect any user in the db_owner database role or
any user in the sysadmin server role, since security checks are bypassed
for these users.
