Interesting.

I think you're half-right, the check should be against 'second', which
should fail because of the '0 = id' check in that view, but we're
reporting the failure as being associated with 'first', which I don't
believe is correct.  Dean, thoughts..?

the check is "0 = id % 3" - i.e. id has to be multiply of 3. Sorry if my
way of writing conditionals is confusing.

Neither client that I use to read email with saw a '% 3' on the view
definition for 'second' in your original email (or as quoted above).
Still, I do see what you're talking about and will take a look.

Yes it definitely looks like a typo in the test --- the definition of
"first" has "id % 2", so it is checking for even numbers, not for
numbers divisible by 3.

As for the point about which of the checks should be failing, I
believe that the current behaviour is correct. The relevant parts of
SQL:1999 are subclause 14.19 "Effect of inserting a table into a
viewed table", and the related subclause 14.18 "Effect of inserting a
table into a derived table". My interpretation of that is that the
CHECK OPTIONs of base relations should be checked before the CHECK
OPTIONs of outer views, which is how I coded it.

Perhaps it's worth adding a sentence to the docs to make that
explicit. So perhaps immediately before where it says "The CHECK
OPTION may not be used with RECURSIVE views.", a new paragraph saying
something like:
   Note that if there is a hierarchy of views on top of other views, and   there are multiple conditions to be checked
fromdifferent views in the   hierarchy, then any conditions to be checked on underlying base views   will always be
checkedbefore any conditions on higher level views.

Dean

Sorry, my bad - must have screwed copy/paste.
the second view is:
select * from first where 0 = id % 3 with local check option;

In such case, can you show me what is the difference of "local check"
and "cascaded check"?
Because I assumed, after reading the commit log, that local checks just
the view definition of the view I'm inserting to, and the cascaded
check, checks all the views "upstream".

Given the assumption that current code works correctly - both checks
check also the upstream view.

Best regards,

Quoting the manual:

LOCAL: New rows are only checked against the conditions defined directly in
the view itself. Any conditions defined on underlying base views are
not checked (unless they also specify the CHECK OPTION).

CASCADED: New rows are checked against the conditions of the view and all
underlying base views. If the CHECK OPTION is specified, and neither
LOCAL nor CASCADED is specified, then CASCADED is assumed.

In particular, note the part about "unless they also specify the CHECK OPTION".

It is defined this way so that if any view has a CHECK OPTION on it,
any views built on top of that can't bypass that check in any way,
they can only add to it.

Taking a specific example, view1 on top of a base table with quals Q1,
and view2 on top of view1 with quals Q2, then inserts into view2 will
check Q1 and/or Q2 depending on the CHECK OPTIONs defined on view1 and
view2 according to the following rules:
  view 1 check:  NONE   LOCAL  CASCADED
view2 check: NONE             -      Q1       Q1 LOCAL            Q2    Q1+Q2    Q1+Q2 CASCADED        Q1+Q2  Q1+Q2
Q1+Q2

Dean

Ah. All clear now. Sorry for misreading.
