Hi,

I meant: in 7.4.X databases, is there a way of disabling a trigger without 
deleting it? I guess the answer is no.

That's what my plpgsql insert function does, and because of this, if a view is 
running at the same moment on the same tables (some views can take up to 2 
hours to be calculated), the insert function gets stuck in a SELECT WAITING 
state. So insertions are impossible in the database when views are being 
calculated.

Regards,

"Only solution" to what?  Why in the world would a view fool around with 
removing triggers?
