Hi,
today I was trying to figure out, what's going on during a delete on a table 
with several foreign key triggers (and "on delete cascade"). But, as found in 
the achives, 
"EXPLAIN on a delete isn't very interesting.."
because it doesn tell me, what going on behind the scenes, where the triggers 
are running.
So my question is: Is there another way besides "explain" to get information 
out of postgresql (7.3.1) what's going on during a "delete" on a table with 
many foreign key triggers .
The only other option what comes to my mind is to inspect the foreign key 
dependencies and check manually, if some index is missing (But I was hoping, 
the maching could tell me that...).
Best regards and thanks a lot,
Tilo
