If i am getting this right the update command: "UPDATE foo_v SET b='xxx';"
will first get the "a" values (2 and 5)  from the view and then execute the
update on this rows.
?

So im my case, when i call the update : "update transactions_sco_v set
traiter='t' where id = 53597;"
IF
    select cursus_id, vers_id, traiter, code_type_academic, cod_etu from
transactions_sco_v where id = 53597;
Returns
 -[ RECORD 1 ]------+-------
cursus_id          | 62
vers_id            | 6
traiter            | f
code_type_academic | ECT
cod_etu            | 041400

this will execute the 3 update corresponding to the 3 rules i defined for
the values of cursus_id, vers_id, traiter, code_type_academic, cod_etu
returned above !!!
and i will have the following 3 updates executes !

UPDATE transactions_sco SET traiter = 't' WHERE cursus_id = 62 AND vers_id =
6 traiter = 'f' AND code_type_academic = 'ECT' and cod_etu = '041400';

UPDATE transactions_sco SET traiter = 't' WHERE cursus_id = 62 AND vers_id =
6 traiter = 'f' AND code_type_academic = 'ECT';


UPDATE transactions_sco SET traiter = 't' WHERE id = 53597;


I AM GETTING THIS RIGHT ??

THANX AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP.
