Sorry I missed this before, but the first examples use of create rule on
*object* rather than *table* seems like something important enough to keep,
since obviously rules can be on more than just tables.

I can't get too excited about this. CREATE RULE uses "table" as well, and specifies that "table" really means "table or view". Similarly, the INSERT syntax summary talks about "INSERT INTO table ...", although of course you can insert into a view if the appropriate rule exists. A view is a table in more ways than one... -Neil ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

Speaking of indefinite articles, there seems to be some inconsistency in using "a SQL ..." and "an SQL ..." throughout the docs. This could probably be easily fixed using a script, but I'm not sure if I'm missing some grammatical details here, since English isn't my native language. Good point, it would be good to make this consistent. I would guess "an SQL ..." is the correct variant, but I don't have an authoritative reference. AFAIK there is no grammatical difference, anyway. -Neil ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
