Yet, more puzzles are there, so may be they'll guide me to the answer, eventualy. One thing I've spotted there, is that earlier I've naively assumed, that when I define a RULE INSTEAD, the original query is "discarded" on the final rewritten query. The example found at your link shows that it isn't ... which is *extremally* strange, but somehow explains what I get in my set of rules "supposedly" exclusive. ... or may be this "theory" is also wrong :( Anyway, thenx for the link. -R -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
