Cascade rules on INSERT wrong behaviour on 16.0

Greetings to all

Here is the Structure:

———————————
CREATE TABLE first (
    id uuid DEFAULT gen_random_uuid() PRIMARY KEY
);

CREATE TABLE second (
    first_id uuid,
    second_id uuid
);

CREATE TABLE third (
    second_id uuid
);

CREATE RULE first_insert AS ON INSERT TO first DO ALSO
INSERT INTO second VALUES (NEW.id, gen_random_uuid());

CREATE RULE second_insert AS ON INSERT TO second DO ALSO
INSERT INTO third VALUES (NEW.second_id);
———————————

I am running:
———————————

test=# select version();

                                                              version                                                              

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 PostgreSQL 16.0 (Ubuntu 16.0-1.pgdg22.04+1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0, 64-bit


test=# insert into first values ('9ea8e702-421c-45d5-842f-a81dc3848022');

INSERT 0 1

test=# select * from second;

               first_id               |              second_id               

--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------

(1 row)


test=#  select* from third;

              second_id               

--------------------------------------

(1 row)

I expect that values of second_id from the table second and third will be the same, but in fact they are different.

If I do insert directly to second table everything is fine. The issue is happen only when I have a chains from 3+ tables. 

If I change 1st rule to trigger the issue will be still there.

Thanks a lot.

That is expected, and that's how rules work.

If you don't want that, you should use triggers, which are working
in a less surprising fashion.
