I think this is actually design behavior. It's really hard to use rules for anything useful (other than views); you might want to look at triggers instead. Rules are basically a crude query-rewrite system. The rule rewriting process doesn't understand anything about what your query is actually trying to do; it's just analyzing the syntax (where, of course, the child tables aren't mentioned). -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
