Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible.
Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5
Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD
Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.
Please advise if someone has done similar.

don't think you can do it directly. You could create views that include the primary key and then grant a group of users update permissions on the view.

Thank you ! That's what I thought too and could not find a way to do in SQL server. We end up with a trigger to do the insert to the newtable

They're called "indexed views" in "Books Online".

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Yep, that's correct but I cannot use views because of its restrictions on updates to multiple tables under the hood through SharePoint CRUD.
