I have found some kind of problems with a rule I have on one of my databases, and after some mailling with Tom, and re-checking my logs I find out that the inserts look like the are getting (if I look at the logs) but the data is not there!
This is the RULE: CREATE RULE admin_insert AS ON INSERT TO admin_view DO INSTEAD ( INSERT INTO carrera (carrera,titulo,area,descripcion,incumbencia,director, matricula,cupos,informes,nivel,requisitos,duracion, categoria) VALUES (new.carrera,new.titulo,new.id_subarea,new.descripcion, new.incumbencia,new.director,new.matricula,new.cupos, new.informes,new.nivel,new.requisitos,new.duracion, new.car_categ); INSERT INTO inscripcion (carrera,fecha_ini,fecha_fin,lugar) VALUES (currval('carrera_id_curso_seq'),new.fecha_ini,new.fecha_fin, new.lugar); INSERT INTO resol (carr,numero,year,fecha) VALUES (currval('carrera_id_curso_seq'),new.numero,new.year,new.fecha); INSERT INTO log_carrera (accion,tabla,id_col) VALUES ('I','carrera',currval('carrera_id_curso_seq')); ); As you can see, there is an insert to a log (log_carrera) table for each insert to the view. On the other hand, all inserts are done throught the view, so for each value of the column id_curso of carrera (see the sequence of the other 3 inserts) there should be a value in inscripcion.carrera, resol.carr and log_carrera.id_col. This is not true for inscripcion: webunl=> select count(id_curso) from carrera where id_curso NOT IN webunl-> (select carrera from inscripcion); count ------- 38 (1 row) webunl=> And if I check the log_carrera table for some of the values found by the last query (obviously not the count but the id_curso): webunl=> select * from log_carrera where id_col IN webunl-> (87,88,90,92) AND tabla='carrera'; id_log | usuario | horario | accion | tabla | id_col --------+---------+------------------------------+--------+---------+-------- 259 | mariana | Mon 24 Sep 20:21:42 2001 GMT | I | carrera | 87 262 | mariana | Mon 24 Sep 20:36:26 2001 GMT | I | carrera | 88 269 | mariana | Mon 24 Sep 21:37:25 2001 GMT | I | carrera | 90 275 | mariana | Mon 24 Sep 21:53:38 2001 GMT | I | carrera | 92 (4 rows) webunl=> In this case 92 is the only one of all four that is OK. The other 3 didn't make the inscripcion insert. And the most courious thing i what the logs say: 2001-09-24 17:21:42 DEBUG: StartTransactionCommand 2001-09-24 17:21:42 DEBUG: query: INSERT INTO admin_view (titulo,id_subarea,descripcion,nivel,requisitos,duracion,numero,year,fecha,fecha_ini,fecha_fin,lugar,informes ,carrera,director) VALUES ('Especialista y Magister en Gesti<F3>n Urbana',1,'Fase 1 Especializaci<F3>n: 3 m<F3>dulos; Introductorio; Contenidos Espec <ED>ficos; Problem<E1>ticas particularizadas.
