From cb052e0bf139c3e51def0966e328f1f5779e442a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2001 23:50:32 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] Fix rule rewriter so that new ordering of ON INSERT actions
applies in cases of qualified rules as well as unqualified ones. Tweak rules
test to avoid cluttering output with dummy SELECT results. Update
documentation to match code.
