Thanks for your response, i made a mistake, the last function is like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Z
   RETURNS "trigger" AS
 $BODY$
 begin
      if (tg_op in ('INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE')) then
         update B;
      end if;
 $BODY$
  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;


And the reason why i made a fake example is because it basically is that, a simple function with a
simple update. I'd just like to know why if  i do that update through a query it invokes the trigger
and not when i do it inside the function.
