Please do not cross-post, even within these mailing lists.  In almost all
cases it is sufficient to post to -general.  And besides, this is not really
a server administration question.

Google: postgresql editable views 9.3

The short answer from the search is that you can as-of 9.1 

While no official pages come up the bulk of the links do make reference to
using triggers to update views.  Looking then at the documentation for
CREATE TRIGGER

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createtrigger.html

You will see that as of 9.1 INSTEAD OF triggers on views are possible.
