Hi list
I have a table construction like the one seen below, when i am updating
or inserting i get a recurion, logical. But how to manage it that the
rule is just doing it one time. Or is it possible to do the sum of a
and b in an other way?
CREATE TABLE test
(
a int2,
b int2,
c int2,
id int2 NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT id_test PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
WITHOUT OIDS;
You do know you can write this like this?:
CREATE TABLE test
(
a int2,
b int2,
c int2,
id int2 NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
)
WITHOUT OIDS;
CREATE OR REPLACE RULE sum_op AS
ON INSERT TO test DO UPDATE test SET c = new.a + new.b
WHERE test.id = new.id;
How do you expect to update a record that doesn't exist yet?
I suppose what you meant is something like this (didn't check the
syntax, but the INSTEAD part is important):
CREATE OR REPLACE RULE sum_op AS
ON INSERT TO TEST DO INSTEAD
INSERT (a, b, c, id) VALUES (new.a, new.b, new.a + new.b, new.id);
But as others suggested, a view is probably the better way to go.
