This is not an updateable view in any database product.
It is a cartesian product join of t1 and t2.

You probably wanted:
create view v1 as 
select * from t1
union all
select * from t2;

Version 7.1 will give you an error if you don't create an appropriate
insert and update rule for the view.

Insert and update rules are not yet automatically created for views.

Probably, but we don't support UNION in views before 7.1 :-(

I'm not real clear on why t1 and t2 are separate tables at all in this
example.  Seems like making v1 be the real table, and t1 and t2 be
selective views of it, would work a lot easier.
