This reflects previous consensus AIUI. RULES came up in similar way with the 'data modifying with' feature; it was decided that as long as old stuff didn't break new features don't necessarily have to go through the motions. This essentially deprecates rules IMO, which is fine. Maybe a small adjustment of the note in the rule documentation couldn't hurt; it currently warns based on performance...a heads up that current and future SQL features might not be fully supported would be nice. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
