I need  accumulated hits statistics from my web appl.  and it was looks easy 
to implement. 

Quick scenario:

1. create table hits (msg_id int4 not null primary key, hits int4);
2. in cgi script  update hits set hits=hits+1 where msg_id = $msg_id;

But this will not works if there are no row with msg_id,
so I need to insert row before. I could do this in application
but I suspect it could be done with rules.

before I dig into rules programming I'd like to know if somebody
has already have similar rule or is there another  way to do this
in postgres. I'd prefer fast solution.
Regards,
    Oleg
