Thread: disable a single trigger
What is the status of the tgenabled field in pg_trigger? It would be so nice to be able to disable just a single trigger on a table rather than having to disable all triggers. The docs say "not presently checked everywhere it should be, so disabling a trigger by setting this false does not work reliably". Will it ever be reliable?

I believe it does work for BEFORE triggers, but not AFTER triggers. There was some question about when it should be checked for an AFTER trigger (when the event is queued? Or fired?). regards, tom lane
