That's best, I believe. For people that came from other DBs, not
familiar with rules, they should be directed to the advantages of rules.
Places that mention triggers and need review:
- CREATE TRIGGER
- Chapter 36.6 Rules versus Triggers
- Chapter 37 "Server Programming - Triggers"
- Chapter 40 "PL/PGSQL"
- Chapter 41 "PL/Tcl"
(not ch. 42 - PL/Perl doesn't support triggers)
- Chapter 43 "PL/Python"
Phew! And this list is possibly not complete...

Andreas
