Hi,
I'm doing some tests of Bernd's updatable views patch and found
something interesting about the RETURNING behavior
testing_uv=# create table bar (field1 integer);
CREATE TABLE
testing_uv=# create view v_bar as select * from bar;
CREATE VIEW
the rules are created as:
"_DELETE" AS ON DELETE TO v_bar DO INSTEAD DELETE FROM ONLY bar WHERE CASE WHEN old.field1 IS NOT
NULLTHEN old.field1 = bar.field1 ELSE bar.field1 IS NULL END
"_INSERT" AS ON INSERT TO v_bar DO INSTEAD INSERT INTO bar (field1) VALUES (new.field1)
"_UPDATE" AS ON UPDATE TO v_bar DO INSTEAD UPDATE ONLY bar SET field1 = new.field1 WHERE CASE WHEN
old.field1IS NOT NULL THEN old.field1 = bar.field1 ELSE bar.field1 IS NULL END
Now, if i insert directly into the table i get:
testing_uv=# insert into bar values (1), (2) returning *;field1
-------- 1 2
(2 rows)
INSERT 0 2
but if i insert using the rules the returning clause is ignored
testing_uv=# insert into v_bar values (3), (4) returning *;
INSERT 0 2
any comments?
