WITH CHECK OPTION

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

A CREATE VIEW statement of an updatable view can have a WITH CHECK OPTION clause appended to it, to make sure that any INSERT or UPDATE statement will produce rows that are also visible through this view.

// Create a new view
create.createView("early_authors", "author_id", "first_name", "last_name")
      .as(select(AUTHOR.ID, AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, AUTHOR.LAST_NAME)
          .from(AUTHOR)

          // Any inserted or updated authors must continue to satisfy this condition
          .where(AUTHOR.ID.lt(200))

          // The flag is set on the Select object, not the view
          .withCheckOption())
      .execute();
The flag is set on the SELECT object, not the CREATE VIEW statement, as it is also made available to inline views.
