I have been looking around to get an idea how to make RULES on a VIEW
for INSERT , UPDATE and DELETE of a VIEW with an INNER JOIN.
First the idea:
There are 3 tables, those are related one way or another, combined in
this view:
pg_user (ok, it's a view really)
tblcontacts (with contact information like first name and lastname and such)
tbldepartments (a user works at a certain department)
tblusersettings (some extra information about the user which is not in
pg_shadow, eg locked status, birthdate and such)
tblusersettings has the links to tbldepartments, tblcontacts and pg_user
(via a trigger to check if the user exists)
---
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW usersview AS
SELECT tblusersettings.userid, tblusersettings.birthdate,
tblusersettings.islocked, pg_user.usename, pg_user.usesuper,
pg_user.valuntil, tbldepartments.departmentname, tbldepartments."ID" AS
departmentid, tbldepartments.dateformatid, tbldepartments.currencyid,
tblcontacts."ID" AS contactid, tblcontacts.firstname,
tblcontacts.lastname, tblcontacts.gender, tblcontacts."function",
tblcontacts.phone, tblcontacts.email, tblcontacts.languageid FROM tblusersettings JOIN pg_user ON
tblusersettings.userid= pg_user.usesysid JOIN tbldepartments ON tblusersettings.departmentid = tbldepartments."ID"
JOINtblcontacts ON tblusersettings.contactid = tblcontacts."ID" ORDER BY pg_user.usename;
the view is OK, so I want something like this to INSERT a user:
CREATE OR REPLACE RULE insertuser AS ON INSERT TO usersview DO INSTEAD
( (CREATE USER NEW.usename); (INSERT INTO tblcontacts(firstname, lastname, gender, titleid,
function, phone, email, languageid, attentionid) VALUES (NEW.firstname,
NEW.lastname, NEW.gender, 0, NEW.function, NEW.phone, NEW.email,
NEW.mobile, NEW.languageid, 0));
);
The idea is:
- Create a user
- Create a contact
- Create usersettings for the user with in it the newly created
contactid and userid.
How impossible is this? How do I get the newly created contact and user
id's in the usersettings table?
TIA,
