Okay sorry i have to change the trigger from AFTER TO BEFORE CREATE TRIGGER trigger_sum BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON test FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_test();
TO ALBAN Our table definition are the same, so what? A primary key is a constraint. And >> 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? This rule is creating first of all the insert and then i can run an Update on this insert, so far its functioning. Your definition is quite good but what are doing when you change the table definition? Rewrite all Rules? But nevertheless thank you.
