    That's  hard  to believe, because tables that get dropped for
    sure take all their triggers with them. What's the result of

        SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE oid = 782359;

    Should be there and be either "qqq"  or  "qqq2".  That's  the
    table name these triggers are fired for.

    What's   a   little  confusing  is  that  in  your  case  the
    tgconstrrelid contains 782372 and not  NULL.  I  assume  from
    that  that  this  is  not  from  the  database  you're having
    problems with, right?
