No, I mean that the view behaves like a table with the same columns as
table, but that restricts to records on wich tag is set. To insert a
record to this "special" table it requires to have field1 set. In other
words: A record of table is a record of view if tag is set. If tag is
set, then field1 has also have to have a value. If tag is not set, it
may have a value for field1, but will not show up in the view. Of course
I could achive this be triggers, but I thought it could be possible to
do via constraints on the view.
