Is it possible for an UPDATE/INSERT query string to function in such a way that it requires two like fields in different tables to be equal to/'in sync with' one another:

Example: I have two tables: registration & schedules....
they both record a class_id, start_date,  end_date... I want to make sure that if the schedule_id field is updated in the registration table; that class_id, start_date & end_date fields automatically change to match the schedules.id record in the schedules table.... I've devised a function to handle this but pgsql recognizes the query to be 'infinitely recursive:

CREATE RULE registration_update AS
ON UPDATE TO registration
DO
UPDATE registration SET class_id = schedules.class_id WHERE new.schedule_id = (SELECT schedules.id FROM schedules WHERE id = new.schedule_id);

What I'm doing is kind of redundant but necessary for backwards-compatibility
