1. You select the newly created cursor in which to do the change and buffer it, so TableUpdate()ing won't affect the test_financing table

2. Strikes me that the whole exercise is futile. With buffering, your changes are effectively made to the buffer and only reflected in the table after update. So why copy it all to a cursor too?

3. Even if you used a view, what's the point of having a view of the whoile unadulterated table, with no related data from others?
