Currently, column-specific triggering is supported only for
<code class="literal">UPDATE</code> events, and so <code class="structfield">tgattr</code> is relevant
only for that event type. <code class="structfield">tgtype</code> might
contain bits for other event types as well, but those are presumed
to be table-wide regardless of what is in <code class="structfield">tgattr</code>.
</p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
When <code class="structfield">tgconstraint</code> is nonzero,
<code class="structfield">tgconstrrelid</code>, <code class="structfield">tgconstrindid</code>,
<code class="structfield">tgdeferrable</code>, and <code class="structfield">tginitdeferred</code> are
largely redundant with the referenced <a class="link" href="catalog-pg-constraint.html" title="53.13. pg_constraint"><code class="structname">pg_constraint</code></a> entry.
However, it is possible for a non-deferrable trigger to be associated
with a deferrable constraint: foreign key constraints can have some
deferrable and some non-deferrable triggers.

<code class="literal">pg_class.relhastriggers</code>
