Presumably it can't _ever_ know without being explicitly told, because even for a plain SELECT there might be triggers involved that update tables, or it might be a select of a stored proc, etc. So in the general case, you can't assume that a select doesn't cause an update, and you can't be sure that the table list in an update is a complete list of the tables that might be updated.
Uhmmm no :) There is no such thing as a select trigger. The closest you would get
is a function that is called via select which could be detected by making sure
you are prepending with a BEGIN or START Transaction. Thus yes pgPool can be made
to do this.
SELECT SETVAL() is another case.
I'd really love to see pgpool do this.
I am also curious about Slony-II development, Tom mentioned a first meeting about it :)
