As far as I can tell it's not possible to do better without
letting the
user put their hands on the tag.
And how is the user going to do better? For example, what if there
are
two triggers trying to set the result, perhaps because two different
commands have been generated by DO ALSO rules?
It depends on what the user is trying to accomplish. If the ALSO rule
is just doing auditing type stuff, then they probably don't want that
included in the result.
I don't see this is being different from having to get the rules
correct in the first place; all we're doing here is adding the
ability to return a meaningful result from the rules back to the client.
BTW, the real-world case we have are updatable views on top of a
union. In this case we'd want the result to reflect the updates that
occurred in all the tables, not just in the last table in the rule.
