S�ren laursen (soeren.laursen@scrooge.dk) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
triggers tablename are not rename if table are renamed.

Long Description
I had a database where I during development created a new table to test a new design. On this table postgresql automatic created triggers because it used foreign keys.

After the test went ok, I rename the table to it "production name". During al test went ok - apparently.

But today during a update run (Importing data via XML) I got complains about missing Relations where to old table name was issued.

I did a dump at (pg_dump) and looked at it and in the end I found that the triggers for example:
CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER "<unnamed>" AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON "alternativhold" NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE "RI_FKey_check_ins" ('<unnamed>', 'nyalternativhold', 'hold', 'UNSPECIFIED', 'holdnr', 'holdnr');

contains a reference to the old table name nyalternativhold.

I deleted the 3 triggers and the systems runs again.

Best regards

S�ren,

7.2 does this correctly.
