Automatically defined TG_OP variable in a trigger function has data type text. Its value is a string of INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or TRUNCATE telling for which operation the trigger was fired. Find the routines that according to the TG_OP value must react to a certain operation but the routine is not associated with any triggers that are fired by the operation. For instance, the routine specifies reaction to DELETE operation but the routine is not associated with any DELETE trigger.
Type
Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Associate the routine with a proper trigger or change the routine.
