Ok. I typed the correct name this time, and got the same error. "drop trigger bug_assigned_to_fk on users; ERROR: DropTrigger: there is no trigger bug_assigned_to_fk on relation users " "drop trigger bug_assigned_to_fk on bug; ERROR: DropTrigger: there is no trigger bug_assigned_to_fk on relation bug" Here is my user table: \d users Table "users" Attribute | Type | Modifier

Would like would work? But I'm not sure how to do it because \d doesn't show the constraint. Any ideas?

Also, the trigger is attached to table users not table bug. > Here is the bug table. Please NOTE there is no constraint listed in the bug > table. I think in 7.1 that trigger would be shown as a trigger if you did \d users, but it's not going to be mentioned by \d bug. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
