Initially deferred constraint triggers do not need explicit statements for locking tables or rows.
Notes
The Tr subquery has been created based on the subquery of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.triggers view. In the returned body of routine the query replaces each newline character with the line break (br) tag for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser.
Type
Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Remove explicit locking (LOCK TABLE … or SELECT … FOR UPDATE) from the trigger function.
