Well, you'll see the status of the last UPDATE executed due to a rule
... but that doesn't mean it couldn't have updated zero rows. It might
be worth pointing out here that conditional rules insert queries that
have the condition added to their WHERE clause; if the condition is
false then no rows are going to get processed.
