You can use the following to list the triggers and see what functions they call. Then you can check pg_proc to see how TRUNCATE is used in prosrc.


SELECT c.relname,
       t.tgname,
       p.proname        AS function_called,
       t.tgconstraint   AS is_constraint,
       CASE WHEN t.tgconstrrelid > 0
            THEN (SELECT relname
                   FROM pg_class
                  WHERE oid = t.tgconstrrelid)
            ELSE ''
        END             AS constr_tbl,
       t.tgenabled
  FROM pg_trigger t
  INNER JOIN pg_proc p  ON ( p.oid = t.tgfoid)
  INNER JOIN pg_class c ON (c.oid = t.tgrelid)
  WHERE tgname NOT LIKE 'pg_%'
    AND tgname NOT LIKE 'RI_%'  -- < comment out to see constraints
--    AND t.tgenabled = FALSE
 ORDER BY 1;

I don't think there is.

But you can find out the table where the trigger is defined and examine
if any foreign key constraints are referring to it.

If yes, then the trigger was called with CASCADE.
If no, it might have been called either way, but the effect would be the same.
