Agreed, I don't think we want to distribute that term any wider than that file. > I think an explanation in fireRIRrules' header comment would be fine. I was thinking of adding it to the file's header like * NOTES * Some of the terms used in this file are of historic nature: "retrieve" * was the PostQUEL keyword for what today is SELECT. "RIR" stands for * "Retrieve-Instead-Retrieve", that is an ON SELECT INSTEAD rule (which * has to be unconditional and where only one rule can exist on each * relation). since both retrieve and RIR are used in a bunch of places.
