Delete rules - Mailing list pgsql-sql

<div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<p class="MsoNormal">We’d like to give our applications truncate
capability,but that would also give them drop table permission, which we don’t want them to have.<p
class="MsoNormal">So,we created a truncate function that uses the definers security context.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p
class="MsoNormal">Theissue is that we now have 1000’s of programs to change to use the function.  A task the developers
don’twant to do. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">So,  we’re investigating using a DELETE rule.  I’d like to
beable to rewrite   an unqualified delete into a the call to the truncate function otherwise, leave it alone.<p
class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">But I don’t know how to access the entire sql statement for interrogation.   <p
class="MsoNormal">Isthere a way I can see what the statement is that’s executing and triggering the rule?<p
