Folks, At the moment, user-accessible RULEs have, as far as I know, just two sane uses:
* Writing to VIEWs * Routing writes to partitions And the second is pretty thin, given the performance issues for numbers of partitions over 2. What say we see about addressing those problems separately, and removing user-accessible RULEs entirely? There are already patches to deal with the first, at least for the kinds of VIEWs where this can be deduced automatically, and people are starting to take on the second. The one remaining (as in nobody's really addressed it with code) issue would be triggers on VIEWs. As other systems have done it, it's clearly not essentially impossible. What would be needed?
