Answer 1

In MySQL you cannot update a view that has "LEFT JOIN", however if you can convert those to "JOIN" you should be OK.

Create view table4 as
Select table1.firstname, table1.lastname, table2.bodyweight, table3.bodyfat
From table1
JOIN table2 ON table1.table1_id = table2.table2_id;
JOIN table3 ON table1.table1_id = table3.table3_id;

See here for reference to what is allowed in updatable views.
