Hello all,

I've read the different solutions about nextval in the digest but
haven't tried any for now.

Could someone explain me why the following doesn't work:

CREATE TABLE slogans (numero_slogan INT4 PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
date_slogan DATE NOT NULL, points_slogans INT4);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index
slogans_pkey for table slogans
CREATE

CREATE SEQUENCE seq_slogans INCREMENT 1 MINVALUE 1 START 1;
CREATE

CREATE RULE rule_i_slogans AS ON INSERT TO slogans DO UPDATE NEW SET
numero_slogan = nextval(seq_slogans) , points_slogan = 10;
ERROR:  attribute 'seq_slogans' not found

if I replace the "nextval(seq_slogans)" with a constant in the rule it
works.

I thought it was an elegant solution.

If someone has got an idea ....

Thanks.
