This is one of the major disadvantages of rules: they're macros, not functions, and as such don't have any real local variables. You should probably look into whether you can do what you want with a trigger instead of a rule. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
