Hi, SQL Server 2005.

CREATE MyView AS SELECT table1.col1, table1.col2, table2.colX ...
GO

Update myView SET
Col1 = <>,
Col2 = <>

Though Col1 and Col2 belongs to the same table, and listed first in the view; the update command fails, saying something like : "multi table"

Should I specify which table is updatable, if so please tell me what's the command to achieve that.

Thanks indeed.

either try to update the base table directly and if you really want to update it through view, create an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger on view which will cause update to base table from its code inside.
