I just checked this. It works fine in 7.2.3.
I think that you are missing a step. If you want to have an updatable view,
then you need to define a Rule for updating it, such as:
kitchen=# create rule update_password as on update to user_password
kitchen-# do instead update "user" set "password" = NEW."password"
kitchen-# where user_id = OLD.user_id;
See the online docs, under Server Programming, for how to use the RULES
system.
