1) A maintenance view is a special view for performing
writes on multiple tables using extended table
maintenance.
2) A single maintenance view can be used to update content
to the multiple related database table consistently.
3) When data records are inserted using maintenance views,
all table fields not in the view are given the type-specific
initial values of the field. This is done regardless of
whether the fields is defined as NOT NULL on the
database.
4) Foreign key relationship is mandatory for maintenance
views and buffering is not allowed.
5) In maintenance view we can perform CRUD operations.
6) Maintenance views implement outer join.
7) The secondary tables have to be in an N:1 dependency to
the primary table or directly preceding secondary table.
8) This ensures that there is at most one dependent record in
each of the secondary tables for a data record in the
primary table.
9) We can change the view field name in Maintenance view.
10) We can maintain Delivery Class of View separately.

we cannot directly execute the data.

data in this view.
