Did you mean something like SELECT substring(pg_get_triggerdef(tg.oid, TRUE) FROM position('WHEN' in pg_get_triggerdef(tg.oid, TRUE))) AS when_cond FROM pg_trigger tg WHERE tg.tgname = 'your_trigger_name';

[http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif] This doesn’t answer OP question. Besides this query gets you not only “WHEN” clause but also whatever follows it, for instance “EXECUTE PROCEDURE…” As for “pg_get_expr(pg_node_tree, relation_oid)” – looks like it doesn’t work with pg_trigger, because as a second parameter (Var) it expects relation_oid, and relation could have multiple triggers, so pg_get_expr() wouldn’t know which trigger’s tgqual you want to decompile.
