OK, I found what I wanted. We made rules fire in alphabetical order in 7.3, and INSTEAD rules are not reordered to the font/back --- they are treated just like any other rule and executed alphabetically. I thought we had some problem with rules or triggers and OLD/NEW handling, but I can't see any mention of that, and it must have been in an older release. The question of firing order is a good one and one that isn't asked very often. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
