Probably not. But using "=" to mean ":=", and "!=" to
mean "<>", could be seen as bad style, even if those
happen to work here.

Do you know this for a fact, or are you inferring it?
In any case, why bother with the test at all, seeing
that the "indexed" value will always be set to false
anyway, if it has not been explicitly set to true?
In case you have only shown a partial example, then
try testing for null: "IF NEW.indexed IS NULL".
