Hopefully this is the correct list to post this message. I was comparing the rendering of the Create Rule Syntax regarding "(actions)" from the page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/rules-update.html CREATE RULE rule_name AS ON event TO object [WHERE rule_qualification] DO [ALSO|INSTEAD] [action | (actions) | NOTHING]; ^^^^^^^^^ to the syntax from the psql \h create rule. Syntax: CREATE [ OR REPLACE ] RULE name AS ON event TO table [ WHERE condition ] DO [ ALSO | INSTEAD ] { NOTHING | command | ( command ; command ... ) } ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The diffences are not major. However, for a newbie like myself I felt the syntax of "(actions)" was a little vague.
