 Is it possible to do updates in INGRES via views? The situation
 is that I have assigned numbers to atoms in amino acids. The
 numbers are sort of unfriendly, but the names of the atoms would
 take up much more storage. I would like to be able to set up forms
 that accept and show atom names in the field, but actual storage
 would be using the more efficient numbers. I also need to know this
 for ORACLE.
