Here's a message from Dmitry Yemanov dated Nov 7, 2003, on the
Firebird-Devel group:

"I'm going to disable the current "feature" when a view can be updatable both
directly and via the trigger. This situation is an anomaly which may cause
server crashes/bugchecks. I suggest the following strong rules:

1) tables are always updatable
2) views with triggers are always updatable
3) views without triggers are updateable only when the well-known
conditions are true (non-union, single table, no aggregates)

Notes:

- Computed fields are non-updatable in all cases but the item 2 above.
- A view with triggers is considered updatable for operation X if it has
at least one BEFORE- or AFTER-X triggers."

You can follow the thread on that group.
