INFINITE RECURSION with rules...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi to everyone.

I've got some problem with rules.


-- I have 2 tables

CREATE TABLE a (email varchar(20), name varchar(10), num1 smallint, num2 smallint, PRIMARY KEY (email, name));

CREATE TABLE b (id smallint PRIMARY KEY, email_a varchar(20), name_a varchar(10), tot smallint, FOREIGN KEY (email_a, name_a) REFERENCES a(email, name));


/*

My goal is to calculate and insert automatically the value of “tot” when I insert a row into table b.

*/


-- Some samples

INSERT INTO a VALUES ('mail1@xxxxxxxxx','bill',3,5);

INSERT INTO a VALUES ('2mail@xxxxxxxxx','paul',4,7);


-- Then I created a simple function

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION calc(varchar(10), varchar(20)) RETURNS smallint AS $$

DECLARE

rowww a%ROWTYPE;

BEGIN

SELECT * INTO rowww FROM a WHERE email = $1 AND name = $2;

IF FOUND

THEN RETURN rowww.num1 * rowww.num2;

ELSE

RAISE WARNING 'Error: values non found!';

END IF;

END;

$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;


-- And this easy rule

CREATE RULE rrr_a_b AS ON INSERT TO b

DO INSTEAD

INSERT INTO b VALUES

(NEW.id,

NEW.email_a,

NEW.name_a,

(SELECT calc(NEW.email_a, NEW.name_a))

);


-- Sample for insert into b

INSERT INTO b VALUES (33,'mail1@xxxxxxxxx','bill');


Trying to insert into b (and using the new rule defined by myself, i receive this message:

ERROR: infinite recursion detected in rules for relation "b"


How I could solve this problem?
