Hello all,
I have a question with the SERIAL type. I want to use it for default
identification of table entries:
create table chuwee ( num serial primary key, mesg varchar(50) not null
);
And all the inserts to this table I'm gonna log to this table:
create table chuwee_log ( id serial primary key, date timestamp default current_timestamp, num integer not null,
mesgvarchar(50) not null
);
Logging will be done with this rule:
create or replace rule chuwee_rule as on insert to chuwee
do insert into chuwee_log (num, mesg) values (new.num, new.mesg);
And all seems to work, but a sequence is called twice for inserts, and
logged "num"-s get a +1 value:
sunline=# insert into chuwee (mesg) values ('Hello, world!');
INSERT 9596671 1
sunline=# insert into chuwee (mesg) values ('Aquarium full of tequilla');
INSERT 9596673 1
sunline=# select * from chuwee_log; id | date | num | mesg
----+----------------------------+-----+--------------------------- 1 | 2007-09-08 16:18:26.707384 | 2 | Hello,
world! 2 | 2007-09-08 16:18:58.711599 | 4 | Aquarium full of tequilla
(2 rows)
sunline=# select * from chuwee; num | mesg
-----+--------------------------- 1 | Hello, world! 3 | Aquarium full of tequilla
(2 rows)
How it can be cured, if any?
Best dishes,
Aleksandr.
