+ The <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> server returns a command
+ status string, such as <code class="literal">INSERT 149592 1</code>, for each
+ command it receives. This is simple enough when there are no rules
+ involved, but what happens when the query is rewritten by rules?
+</p><p>
+ Rules affect the command status as follows:
+
+ </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
+ If there is no unconditional <code class="literal">INSTEAD</code> rule for the query, then
+ the originally given query will be executed, and its command
+ status will be returned as usual. (But note that if there were
+ any conditional <code class="literal">INSTEAD</code> rules, the negation of their qualifications
+ will have been added to the original query. This might reduce the
+ number of rows it processes, and if so the reported status will
+ be affected.)
+ </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+ If there is any unconditional <code class="literal">INSTEAD</code> rule for the query, then
+ the original query will not be executed at all. In this case,
+ the server will return the command status for the last query
+ that was inserted by an <code class="literal">INSTEAD</code> rule (conditional or
+ unconditional) and is of the same command type
+ (<code class="command">INSERT</code>, <code class="command">UPDATE</code>, or
+ <code class="command">DELETE</code>) as the original query. If no query
+ meeting those requirements is added by any rule, then the
+ returned command status shows the original query type and
+ zeroes for the row-count and OID fields.
+ </p></li></ul></div><p>
+</p><p>
+ The programmer can ensure that any desired <code class="literal">INSTEAD</code> rule is the one
+ that sets the command status in the second case, by giving it the
+ alphabetically last rule name among the active rules, so that it
+ gets applied last.
