/**
 * A modifiable view onto {@link ModifiableTable}.
 *
 * It describes how its columns map onto the underlying table's columns,
 * and any constraints that incoming rows must satisfy.
 *
 * 
For example, given
 *
 * 
 *   CREATE TABLE emps (empno INTEGER, gender VARCHAR(1), deptno INTEGER);
 *   CREATE VIEW female_emps AS
 *     SELECT empno, deptno FROM emps WHERE gender = 'F';
 * 
 *
 * constraint is {@code $1 = 'F'}
 * and column mapping is {@code [0, 2]}.
 *
 * 
NOTE: The current API is inefficient and experimental. It will change
 * without notice.
