Description: CREATE RULE commands atomicity
Details:
I read the page about CREATE RULE and Chapter 33 which explains the rules
and I couldn't find anything about whether rules are atomically executed
(i.e. is there an implied BEGIN/COMMIT?)
My point here is if I write one INSERT command somewhere which is
transformed by a rule, I'm very likely
not going to write BEGIN + COMMIT since to me it will look like one
instruction and I expect it to be
atomic by itself.
Is that a correct assumption?!
Thank you.
