Re: COPY FROM and INSERT INTO rules

From the 8.3 docs...

"Be aware that COPY ignores rules. ... COPY does fire triggers, so you can use it normally if you use the trigger approach."

HTH,

All,

I have a rule written on a temp table which will copy the valuesinserted into it to another table applying a function. The temp tablewill be discarded then. The rules I have written works when I use"Insert into" the temp table. But when I use bulk copy "COPY FROM", therule doesn't get triggered and data is inserted only into the temptable that I created.

Is there a way to call a rule when I use "COPY FROM" instead of "INSERTINTO"

TIA,
Sairam
