I hadn't noticed the dblink_current_query() function before, but now
that I see it, I consider it a pretty bad idea.  It certainly will not
help you the way you are hoping, because what it returns is the text of
the interactive command the backend is currently working on --- which
could be indefinitely far removed from the operation your rule is firing
for.
