Is there any difference in multi or single table view? When you create a rule,
you have access to NEW and/or OLD, which will contain all the fields your view
has. You can then do something like this:
CREATE RULE insert_rule AS ON INSERT TO your_view DO INSTEAD (INSERT INTO table1 (name) VALUES (NEW.name);INSERT INTO
table2(favorite_color) VALUES (NEW.favorite_color);
);
Or is there something I'm not understanding about your request, or perhaps rules
in general?
