First of all, you should fix your query. Problems I see:
- You're inserting more values than you specified fields.
- On postgresql you don't have to use the
insert into foo (...) values (select ...)
construct, you can instead say:
insert into foo (...) select ...
For the rule stuff:
- do you want it to happen on update, on delete or on insert? You should
be clear about that.
You might want to read Bruce Momjian's book "PostgreSQL - Introduction
and Concepts" (available in your book store or on the web - I leave it
up to you to google it up or to order it). It's a really fine book for
beginners and helped me a lot to learn how to write rules and do other
stuff with postgresql.

Daniel
