SQL pivoted table is read-only and cells can't be edited?

Question

If I create a VIEW using this pivot table query, it isn\'t editable. The cells are read-only and give me the SQL2005 error: \"No row was updated. The data in row 2 was n

Answer 1

You'll have to create trigger on view, because direct update is not possible:

CREATE TRIGGER TrMyViewUpdate on MyView
INSTEAD OF UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
   SET NOCOUNT ON;
   UPDATE MyTable
   SET ...
   FROM INSERTED...
END
