create rule apples_pears_update as on update to apples do instead update pears set name= NEW.name where id=NEW.id ;
test=# select * from apples ;id | name
----+------ 1 | a
(1 row)
test=# select * from pears ;id | name
----+------ 1 | b
(1 row)
test=# update apples set name = 'c' where id = 1;
UPDATE 1
test=# select * from pears ;id | name
----+------ 1 | c
(1 row)
