Hi all.

How to make a non-removable row in a table?

In my case, I should not accidentally delete a row with id = 0.

CREATE TABLE profile (

id integer NOT NULL,

name character varying(265) NOT NULL

);

CREATE SEQUENCE profile_id_seq
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
NO MAXVALUE
NO MINVALUE
CACHE 1;

ALTER TABLE profile ALTER COLUMN id SET DEFAULT
nextval('profile_id_seq'::regclass);

ALTER TABLE ONLY profile ADD CONSTRAINT profile_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id);

INSERT INTO profile VALUES (0,'non-removable Profile');

I found a simple solution, but i don't know how to add raises an exception here.

create rule protect_profile_id0_update as  on update to web.profile
where old.id = 0  do instead nothing;
create rule protect_profile_id0_delete as  on delete to web.profile
where old.id = 0  do instead nothing;

Re: How to make a non-removable row in a table?

Hi,

simple violate a contraint.

my test:

drop table if exists x;
create temp table x (
id int not null primary key,
name text
);

-- check against not null
create rule test_rule as on delete to x where old.id=1 do instead update
x set id=null;
insert into x values( 1,'a'),(2,'b');
select * from x;

-- fails
delete from x;

delete from x where id!=1;
select * from x;

regards
Thomas
