My understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong, is that the view will effectively inherit the table's constraints, because writes to the view that can't be written to the table will fail on the table. Re: "will the data be good data," what risks should I be considering?
In terms of rollout, we would 1) create the view, 2) deploy code that uses the new [view] name, 3) drop the view and rename the table. Deployments are "rolling" so there would be no downtime. The app and users shouldn't notice/care if they're hitting the table or the view.
