I just found an interesting issue in recent PostgreSQL releases:

CREATE VIEW view_nonsense AS SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b;

CREATE RULE myrule AS ON INSERT TO view_nonsense
        DO INSTEAD NOTHING;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION debug() RETURNS boolean AS '
        DECLARE

        BEGIN
                INSERT INTO view_nonsense VALUES (10, 20);
                RETURN true;
        END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

SELECT debug();

The INSERT statement is not doing something useful here


[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ psql test < view.sql
CREATE VIEW
CREATE RULE
CREATE FUNCTION
ERROR: SPI_execute_plan failed executing query "INSERT INTO view_nonsense VALUES (10, 20)": Unrecognized SPI code 0
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "debug" line 4 at SQL statement



SPI_result_code_string(int code) and PL/pgSQL don't seem to be aware of DO NOTHING rules.
Is it desired behaviour?


        Best regards,

                Hans
