You can't do anything in a view except for a single SELECT (and all its capabilities).

What are you trying to do?

You cant use an the INSERT in a view.

You could do

CREATE VIEW [dbo].[test_view]

AS

SELECT DISTINCT p_id, p_name

FROM unify

GO

INSERT INTO s_info

(

s_num, s_name

)

SELECT p_id, p_name

FROM [dbo].[Test_view]

The insert is not part of the view, you might want to use a stored procedure.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[test_procedure]

AS

DELETE FROM s_info;

--WHERE ?

INSERT INTO s_info

(

s_num,

s_name

)

SELECT DISTINCT

p_id,

p_name

FROM unify;

GO

@Minnu,

I don't mean this as a slam. It's a recommendation. This is some pretty basic stuff that you're talking about and, if your job requires you to work with T-SQL, I strongly recommend that you get some training. Ask the folks at work. "The answer is always 'No' unless you ask".

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
