(possibly, Jason, what you think is the trigger name isnt'.)

When your RI triggers are created by PostgreSQL, it chooses the trigger
name itself (what Tom is referring to, above).

The name *you* provide (via a "constraint xxxx references" clause) becomes
a different column, tgconstrname. Check *there* for your trigger name.
