Hi list,
Given a table with columns seconds and minutes, how can I have minutes be
computed automatically at the insert statement?
I tried:
ALTER TABLE table1 ALTER COLUMN minutes SET default (seconds/60);
Postgres' answer was:
ERROR: cannot use column references in default expression
So I gave rules a look but it seems rules apply to the entire row.
CREATE RULE "my_rule" AS ON
INSERT TO table1
WHERE minutes is null
DO INSTEAD
INSERT INTO table1 (column1, column2, seconds, minutes)
VALUES(new.column1, new.column2, new.seconds, new.seconds/60);
Is this correct? Is there another (better/simpler) way to achieve this?
Regards,
Fernando
