Hi Guys,
Using CASCADE can be a bit dangerous as there might be other tables,
functions, views etc. that will be dropped but they are not meant to be.

Try this:

DO
$$
BEGIN
IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM information_schema.triggers
WHERE event_object_table = 'tablename'
AND trigger_name = 'triggername'
)
THEN
<Insert your create trigger syntx here>;


END IF ;

END;
$$
