Here I have a very simple case

table1
table1_removed

anotherTable

create or replace RULE rec_remove as ON DELETE TO table1
do insert into table1_remove
select old.*, a.acc from old g join anotherTable a on g.acc=a.other_acc;
===
the parser complained       ERROR:  relation "*OLD*" does not exist
So I used
select old.*, a.acc from table1 g join anotherTable a on g.acc=a.other_acc;

This worked find.

When I run delete on table1, 213 rows.

tmp table received 213X213 = 45369 rows. each row is duplicated 213 times.

My question: Is it possible to bring in another table in a rule?
Where am I wrong in this case.  Certainly I don't want that duplications.

My table1_removed contain a primary key for the id. The speed of doing the delete is also very slow
apparently it has to do N-square inserts.
I have very limited information to read on the manual of postgres.
Any solution?
