Subject: triggers on views?
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:42:04 -0400
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

We had a doc comment come in noting that the second paragraph seems to be 
incorrect on 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/rules-triggers.html, 
specifically the part that says "On the other hand, a trigger that is fired 
on INSERT on a view can do the same as a rule".  I'm not sure if this is 
supposed to just be taken as a conceptual argument, but it is confusing 
because you can't put insert triggers on views... so just what is it getting 
at? This exists in several versions back, not sure how folks feel about 
updating existing versions, but seems like it could use some rewording... 
thoughts?
