Re: trigger without trigger call

Hello

you can disable trigger by ALTER TABLE tablename DISABLE TRIGGER
triggername;

but it should be executed with owner rights on table.

This statement works perfect, but a fact, so you need it signalize so you
do some wrong. Triggers should to be used primary for checking, logging,
calculating some simply calculated values. Anything else is can carry some
very negative effects with impacts on readability or performance (although
sometimes it is necessary). Try to move some logic from triggers to
functions with explicit call.
