I see. In that case rules do not serve this particular purpose.
It seems a trigger should be the tool for solving this.
Just to confirm, this is my test case:
create table table1 (
column1 text,
seconds integer,
minutes integer );
CREATE RULE "my_rule" AS ON
INSERT TO table1
WHERE minutes is null
DO INSTEAD
INSERT INTO table1 (column1, seconds, minutes) VALUES(new.column1,
new.seconds, new.seconds/60);
insert into table1 values ('a', 60); --- Here the rule should kick
in right?
insert into table1 values ('b', 120, NULL); --- Rule should kick in too.
insert into table1 values ('c', 180, 3); --- the rule should not apply
since minutes is not null.
Of course, all three of them throw the recursion error.
