Hi,
at least with PostgreSQL 7.1 it was possible to create a trigger on a
view. 7.2 seems to fail with:
psql:t:25: ERROR: CreateTrigger: relation "egg_view" is not a table
is there any replacement so that inserting somewhere acts on multiple
tables ?
Thank you.
Code reference: (stupid, real code is more complex and uses multiple
tables)
DROP TRIGGER t_egg ON egg_view;
DROP FUNCTION f_egg_insert ();
DROP VIEW egg_view;
DROP TABLE egg;
DROP SEQUENCE egg_id_seq;
CREATE TABLE egg(id SERIAL,
description TEXT,
UNIQUE(id), PRIMARY KEY(id));
CREATE VIEW egg_view
AS SELECT description FROM egg;
CREATE FUNCTION f_egg_insert ()
RETURNS opaque
AS 'BEGIN
INSERT INTO egg (description) VALUES(NEW.description);
END;'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
CREATE TRIGGER t_egg
BEFORE INSERT
ON egg_view
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE f_egg_insert();

Yes. Use the RULES system, which were a lot like triggers but are
better tailored to deal with inserts and updates on VIEWs.
See:

Use a rule instead. 7.2 will reject an attempt to insert into a view
without a replacement rule, so a trigger would do you no good anyhow.
(I thought that behavior went back further than 7.2, actually.)

Thanks for the suggestion to use RULES.
My solution (comments welcome):
