Hi,

The recent commit 09b49a8439fde63826f93f55430868cf2585644b claims:

+    Time spent firing triggers, if any, is charged to the Insert,
+    Update, or Delete node, and is also shown separately for each trigger.
+    Note, however, that deferred triggers will not be fired until end of
+    transaction and are thus not accounted for in the output of
+    <command>EXPLAIN ANALYZE</command>.

But that's only part of the truth; the ModifyTable nodes queue AFTER triggers, but don't actually fire them. I remember there was some discussion during 9.0's development about making the ModifyTable nodes also count the time spent firing AFTER triggers, but I don't remember what we decided back then. Meanwhile, I think this part in the documentation needs a small clarification.


Regards,
Marko Tiikkaja
