Thread: Rules and transactions

Does anybody know how the following exactly works: If i use autocommit and
create a rule which has two or more SQL statements in it's action part, are
these executed within one single transaction?
Second question: it would be helpful to see which statements are executed
acutally when executing a rule. Which settings should i use to see it in
syslog.

Thanks in advance

Yes, its a single transaction.

I'm not sure: enable stats_command_string in your postgresql.conf

Yes.

You can't, mainly because those statements are never constructed in
textual form.  You could use EXPLAIN to get some impression of what's
going on though.
