Thanks, that explains a lot, but still not able to get my rule to work,
this is what I have now:
CREATE RULE "update_unconditional" AS ON UPDATE TO
"public"."viewdeterioratedlbp"
DO INSTEAD NOTHING;
CREATE RULE "update_xrf" AS ON UPDATE TO "public"."viewdeterioratedlbp"
WHERE ((new.note)::text = 'Unit'::text)
DO (UPDATE tblxrf SET deterioration = new.deterioration WHERE
(tblxrf.xrf_id = new.xrf_id););
ohc=# update viewdeterioratedlbp set deterioration = 'test' where xrf_id
= 143;
UPDATE 0
This is the first rule I have tried to setup, I read through the doc,
but don't seem to be able to catch what I'm doing wrong. Do I have to
update all fields for it to work?
