Thread: Probable error on docs

Hi Folks,


        At programmer\rules1139.htm, (Rules on INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE),
there are the following statments:

CREATE TABLE shoelace_log (
        sl_name    char(10),      -- shoelace changed
        sl_avail   integer,       -- new available value
        log_who    name,          -- who did it
        log_when   datetime       -- when
    );

    CREATE RULE log_shoelace AS ON UPDATE TO shoelace_data
        WHERE NEW.sl_avail != OLD.sl_avail
        DO INSERT INTO shoelace_log VALUES (
                                        NEW.sl_name,
                                        NEW.sl_avail,
                                        getpgusername(),
                                        'now'::text
                                    );

In the RULE statment (the second one) there is a reference to a
[shoelace_data] relation. Shouldn't it be the name of the table just
created, [shoelace_log] ?
In the RULE statment there is also a refernce to [shoelace_log].
I'm using the docs from the last snapshot. Files are dated 05/08/2000.


Best Regards,
Howe.

I think the docs are correct.  showlace_log holds changes to
shoelace_data.
