Subject: deferred trigger
To: postgres@postgres.berkeley.edu
Sender: pg_adm@postgres.berkeley.edu


I want to model deferred triggers by the use of the PRS2 rule system.
Therefore I need a mechanism that some rules are activated during
a transaction until the command  *end transaction* and then to
activate further rules which also refer to operations done
during the transaction.

Does anybody have any experience with deferred trigger (rules)
in POSTGRES? Are there any investigations to support
such rules?

Thanks for any help and comments!
