Hello -
I find myself trying to find a way to have the table name used with the
insert command be generated on the fly in a rule. For example, consider
the following:
create table foobars (
id bigserial,
created_at timestamp not null,
name
);
create table foobars_200612 (
check (created_at >= timestamp '2006-12-01 00:00:00' and created_at <
timestamp '2007-01-01 00:00:00')
) inherits (foobars);
create table foobars_200701 (
check (created_at >= timestamp '2007-01-01 00:00:00' and created_at <
timestamp '2007-02-01 00:00:00')
) inherits (foobars);
create rule foobars_insert as
on insert to foobars do instead
insert into (select 'foobars_' || extract(year from NEW.created_at) ||
extract(month from NEW.created_at))
(created_at,name) values (now(),'hello');
I realize that I could craft a list of many ON INSERT TO foobars WHERE xxx
constructs, but am trying to be a bit more maintainable than having each
of the where clauses hard-defined. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance - Marc
