Well, this error appears when you recreate the function without dropping the
trigger. You should drop and create the trigger every time you drop the
function.
BTW, you can implement the feature you want using FOREIGN KEY constraints -
they do the same things. Just create your tables as follows:
CREATE TABLE Y (
...,
COLY INT4,
...,
);
CREATE TABLE X (
...,
COLX INT4,
...,
CONSTRAINT fk_colx_coly
FOREIGN KEY (COLX)
REFERENCES Y(COLY)
ON DELETE CASCADE
);
and this feature will be implemented automatically.
