Create an INSERT, UPDATE trigger on table1. Have the trigger inspect the value
of pump1. You will need to guard against double entry on updates. So rough flow
is:
if TG_OP = 'INSERT' and NEW.pump1 = 't'
INSERT row second table
if TG_OP = 'UPDATE' and NEW.pump1='t'
if OLD.pump1 = 'f' or OLD.pump1 is NULL
INSERT row second table
