Subject: on insert rule with default value
Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:51:30 -0500
Message-ID: <20120221205130.GG29194@mtholyoke.edu> (raw)

My rule below does not insert the the same uuid value into the test_log
table as is created in the test table when I insert a new value.  I know
I've worked through this before, but I'm not remembering why this is.
What's a right way to do this?

create table test (
  anid
    uuid
    not null
    default encode( gen_random_bytes( 16 ), 'hex' )::uuid
    primary key,
  value
    text
);

create table test_log (
  anid
    uuid,
  value
    text,
  op
    text,
  attime
    timestamp with time zone
);

create rule test_rule_a as
on insert to test do (
  insert into test_log ( anid, value, op, attime )
  values ( new.anid, new.value, 'insert', now() )
);
