Column Type Description

Column Type Description
`oid` `oid` Row identifier
`rulename` `name` Rule name
`ev_class` `oid` (references pg_class.`oid`) The table this rule is for

`is_instead` `bool` True if the rule is an `INSTEAD` rule
`ev_qual` `pg_node_tree` Expression tree (in the form of a `nodeToString()` representation) for the rule's qualifying condition
`ev_action` `pg_node_tree` Query tree (in the form of a `nodeToString()` representation) for the rule's action
