Hi list

I have a table construction like the one seen below, when i am updating
or inserting i get a recurion, logical. But how to manage it that the
rule is just doing it one time. Or is it possible to do the sum of a
and b in an other way?

CREATE TABLE test
(
  a int2,
  b int2,
  c int2,
  id int2 NOT NULL,
  CONSTRAINT id_test PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
WITHOUT OIDS;
ALTER TABLE test OWNER TO postgres;


CREATE OR REPLACE RULE sum_op AS
    ON INSERT TO test DO  UPDATE test SET c = new.a + new.b
  WHERE test.id = new.id;

CREATE OR REPLACE RULE sum_op_up AS
    ON UPDATE TO test DO  UPDATE test SET c = test.a + test.b
  WHERE test.id = new.id;
