The difference is how other db's work. They all ignore triggers and constraints
in the sqlca.sqlerrd[2] "number of processed rows" count, that I see identical to our
affected rows count. They all have views, but not many have rules :-) Pg's "instead rules"
are the toolkit for views, and as such need special handling, imho.
