Yes, I agree perfectly... I never thought of that! I would really like it if some more info was added to the docs regarding info on rules and triggers. The section on update rules is quite good, but some more would never hurt. One point in the trigger vs rules section which at least to me is very important is the simple fact that you cannot have a trigger on a select... Ok I understand why - but it took some time...
Thank you for answering my questions! regards, Aasmund.
