The rules are done first. The reason is that the rules actually modify the
query before it gets to execution. In case of a view, a trigger would then
act on the query to the base table. Thus a trigger on a view might not
make too much sense.

See also the relevant chapters (39 & 41) in the Programmer's Guide.
