Ah, yeah, that seems to work exactly as expected. At least, my tests
now pass successfully after converting from a rule to a trigger. It was
a pain that trigger functions can't be SQL. I just wanted to run some
SQL after the delete/insert/update, and ended up having to wrap it in
a pl/python function...
Thanks,
