Re: questions on rules

Thanks for the reply.  Do you know if triggers defined on a base table 
fire for operations on inherited tables?  (I.e., if I have an after 
insert trigger on table "base", and a table "derived" that inherits 
from base, will inserts into derived cause the trigger on base to 
fire?)  If so (this is the behavior I would like), is there a way to 
get the tableoid of the table which caused the trigger to fire?

I really appreciate the assistance.

I think you want to look at triggers rather than rules here.
