Questionon Rules<br /><br />I am creating a rule which will copy a record when it is changed to a audittable. My
questionis that the first column is a UUID data type with a defined as auditaccessorid uuid DEFAULT<br
/>isscontrib.uuid_generate_v4()NOT NULL,<br /><br />Right now I've got that set to NULL to allow the parser to
"compile".<br />What value should I have in here since I want a newly created UUID?<br /><br />CREATE RULE log_accessor
ASON UPDATE TO iss.accessor<br />WHERE NEW.* <> OLD.*<br />DO INSERT INTO iss.auditaccessor VALUES (NULL,<br
/>'C',<br/>new.loaddtlid, <br />new.seqno, <br />new.billable,<br />new.payind,<br />new.code,<br />new.description,
<br/>new.ref,<br />new.tractororcarrierflag, <br />new.tractororcarrierno,<br />new.tractorpct,<br />new.charge,<br
/>new.type,<br/>new.checkdate,<br />new.checkno,<br />new.processed,<br />new.itemflag, <br />new.tractortermloc,<br
/>new.cost,<br/>new.batchno,<br />new.editdatetime, <br />new.edituser);<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Michael

/>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br />INSERT INTO table (serial_col1) VALUES
(DEFAULT);<br/><br />Also, I presume you have a good reason for using a RULE instead of a TRIGGER? If not you should
defaultto a TRIGGER for this kind of behavior.<br /><br />David J.<br /><br /><br /><br />-- <br />Sent via
