As soon as you delete in the first command, the row no longer exists in the view, and "new.*" is just a macro for a view reference. AFAIK there really isn't any way to do it except ON UPDATE DO INSTEAD UPDATE private.zzz SET f1 = new.f1, f2 = new.f2, ... WHERE key_field = old.key_field; BTW, you should also consider adding RETURNING clauses to these rules so that UPDATE RETURNING &etc will work on the views. Here at least you can use "RETURNING *" ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
