Thanks for the quick answer - even though it does not solve my problem :-(

Hm, it fails even if I have only a single inherited table.
Also only one rule will 'fire'. Or do you mean that the last rule that
gets evaluated will determine the result, even if it's where clause evaluates
to false?

Thanks I'll try that. Yet I have only some dozen cdrs at any time, so
I doubt it will make a big difference?
