Correct, without insert rules you will not be able to add new records to the underlying tables of
a view.

What exactly would you be backing up and restoring? I expect that you can add new rules to these
views from psql without even disconnecting from CASEStudio or anyother client program. Once the
rulse are added, inserts that did not work before will start working.

Either way. I like to create sql files with all of the DDL for creating the view and rules.
Overtime, if I need to change my view or reconfigure the rules, I can edit my sql file and then
call it up in psql using "\e <view_def.sql>"
I use the "CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW" syntax to achieve this.
