I tried creating a rule like: create rule "_RETURN" as on select to asfd do instead select * from blah;
And it worked. But it doesn't appear in pg_rules. I created this one: create rule myrule as on insert to asfd do instead nothing; And it does appear: test=# select * from pg_rules ; schemaname | tablename | rulename | definition ------------+-------------+---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pg_catalog | pg_settings | pg_settings_n | CREATE RULE pg_settings_n AS ON UPDATE TO pg_settings DO INSTEAD NOTHING; pg_catalog | pg_settings | pg_settings_u | CREATE RULE pg_settings_u AS ON UPDATE TO pg_settings WHERE (new.name = old.name) DO SELECT set_config(old.name, new.setting, false) AS set_config; chriskl | asfd | myrule | CREATE RULE myrule AS ON INSERT TO asfd DO INSTEAD NOTHING; (3 rows) What gives?
