I am currently attempting to migrate one of our customers databases to
partitioned tables. This database is used to store firewall logs and
is currently in the range of 600GB (thats 90 days worth).
I am having problems with the rewrite rules though it seems to be skipping over any rule that has a where statement in
itie
CREATE OR REPLACE RULE firewall_test AS ON INSERT TO firewall DO INSTEAD INSERT INTO firewall_y2008m04d21
VALUES(NEW."time");
INSERT INTO firewall (time) VALUES('2008-04-21 12:00:00');
INSERT 1029459 1
works but
CREATE OR REPLACE RULE firewall_test AS ON INSERT TO firewall WHERE TRUE DO INSTEAD INSERT INTO firewall_y2008m04d21
VALUES(NEW."time");
INSERT INTO firewall (time) VALUES('2008-04-21 12:00:00');
ERROR: No inserting to firewall please
doesn't. I have placed a trigger on the table to prevent anything from inserting into the top level table hence the
error.
an example of the full rule we are trying to use that doesn't work is
firewall_y2008m04d21_insert AS
ON INSERT TO firewall
WHERE new."time" >= '2008-04-21 00:00:00'::timestamp without time zone AND new."time" < '2008-04-22
00:00:00'::timestampwithout time zone DO INSTEAD INSERT INTO firewall_y2008m04d21 ("time", firewall, pri, sent, rcvd,
lsent,lrcvd, duration, src, dst, arg, msg, ref, dstname, srcname, agent, server, srcclass, dstclass, rule, username,
proto,op, result, vpn, type, cache, direction, content, fwdfor, coninfo, tcpflags, method, action, policy, service,
engine,state, fwid, block, authprofile, summarised, realm, clientmac, account, count, interface)
VALUES (new."time", new.firewall, new.pri, new.sent, new.rcvd, new.lsent, new.lrcvd, new.duration, new.src, new.dst,
new.arg,new.msg, new.ref, new.dstname, new.srcname, new.agent, new.server, new.srcclass, new.dstclass, new.rule,
new.username,new.proto, new.op, new.result, new.vpn, new.type, new.cache, new.direction, new.content, new.fwdfor,
new.coninfo,new.tcpflags, new.method, new.action, new.policy, new.service, new.engine, new.state, new.fwid, new.block,
new.authprofile,new.summarised, new.realm, new.clientmac, new.account, new.count, new.interface)
There is one of these for each day with only the times changing.
Am I missing something or is this just broken?
