I'm attempting to drop a trigger that may or may not exist, so am using
the "IF EXISTS" clause.  This works fine for tables, views, functions,

triggers.  I'd expect to see more about this online if it were a bug,
so I'm thinking I may be missing something obvious.

Example:
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS udf_customer_update_trigger ON customer;

Expected Output:
NOTICE:  trigger "udf_customer_update_trigger" does not exist, skipping

Observed Output:
ERROR:  relation "udf_customer_update_trigger" does not exist

Environment:
CentOS 6.6
postgresql91-server-9.1.14-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64


Is that happening on all triggers you are trying to DROP, or just this one?

If just this one, you might want to check to see if the trigger was created with a quoted mixed case name and therefore needs to have the exact case quoted when used in the DROP TRIGGER. Something else to look at is whether there is more then one customer table and you need to schema qualify the name.


Thanks,
Michael
