Re: create view with check option

Hi everybody,

I have implemented in a different way as advised in the manual. I
thought this will be useful for everbody.

We don't have check option in the view. Instead we can create a rule to
make the view as insertable, updatable or delete.

Here is the script.

create table test_tbl (a int4, b int4, c varchar(30));

create or replace view test_vw as select * from test_tbl;

create or replace rule test_rule_ins as on insert to test_vw
do instead
insert into test_tbl values (new.a, new.b, new.c);

insert into test_vw (a, b) values (1,2);
insert into test_vw (a, b) values (3,4);

create or replace rule test_rule_upd as on update to test_vw
do instead
update test_tbl set a=new.a, b=new.b, c=new.c where a=new.a;

update test_vw set c='good' where a=1;

select * from test_vw;
