Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
I've noticed interesting feature in PSQL 7.0.2
when executing insertion rules PSQL does not substitute new.* with
real values - it calculates these fields only as needed
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 I create SEQUENCE ss
2 I create table tt with field (a int4 default NEXTVAL(ss) )
3 I create table t2 with field (i int4)
4 I
create rule r as on insert to tt do insert into t2(i) values(new.a);
RESULT
For each insertion into tt sequence ss increases by 2. Tables tt and
t2 have DIFFERENT values after insert (for example tt have 2 and t2
have 1)
in rule system when rule executes it uses "non calculated information"
so we have NEXTVAL(ss) called twice:
first time for rule command
second time for insert command
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it a bug or a feature?
Thanks for support.
