hi all,
the automatic update for views is really a helpful feature, but i think it would be more useful with returning support.
currently we have to construct a rule/trigger to support queries like
'insert into simple_view returning pk'
is it possible (or desired) to implement something like an automatic returning support?
it would be great if i could simply write 'insert into simple_view returning col1' or 'insert into simple_view
returningcol2' and postgres would make the magic behind.
(a slightly changed text from the pg rules documentation)
The RETURNING logic of the automatic update feature would be used only if the automatic update is triggered by an
INSERTRETURNING, UPDATE RETURNING, or DELETE RETURNING command respectively. When the automatic update is triggered by
acommand without RETURNING, the RETURNING logic will be ignored.
thanks
regards,
Attila
