Hello list,
I am trying to wirte a rule which calls a PLPgSQL-function upon an
Insert in a table. Here is a somewhat simplified example of what i got
so far:
CREATE TABLE mytable (mytable_id serial PRIMARY KEY,something text
);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION _rule_insert_my(something text) RETURNS integer AS
$BODY$
BEGIN-- do somethingreturn mytable_id;
END;
$BODY$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE COST 100;
CREATE OR REPLACE RULE _insert AS ON INSERT TO mytable DO INSTEAD SELECT
_rule_insert_my(new.something) AS mytable_id;
So far this works quite well. But I got a few situations where I need to
do a query which uses RETURNING to get the value of the newly generated
primary key. Like this one:
INSERT INTO mytable (something) VALUES ('some text') RETURNING mytable_id;
This breaks because I did not specify a RETURNING-Clause in the rule.
But how can specify RETURNING with SELECT?
Thank your in advance for your help.
regards,
nico
