Re: currval = currval+1

I have some rules on the table and I have dropped them and everything went fine.
the rule is as follow

CREATE OR REPLACE RULE status_change_ins AS
ON INSERT TO account DO INSERT INTO account_status_change_log (account_id,
account_status_id, status_change_date)

VALUES (new.account_id, new.account_status_id, now());

I do not know what is happing here, but this is a strange behavior.

Regards

works for me -- are you sure you don't have a trigger or something
else going on behind the scenes?
