     public | tg_update_qqq_date | "trigger"

    Declare
        uid         bigint;
    Begin
        uid = (select owner_id from yyy m where m.f1 = NEW.f1);
        if (uid <> 0 and not uid is null) then
            update xxx set qqq_date = 'now' where id=uid;
        end if;
        Return NEW;
    End; |

and there's also a rewrite rule:

 zzz_update_r1 AS
    ON UPDATE TO zzz DO INSTEAD  UPDATE xxx SET f1 = new.f1
  WHERE xxx.id = new.id
 zzz_update_r2 AS
    ON UPDATE TO zzz DO INSTEAD  UPDATE xxx SET f2 = new.f2
  WHERE xxx.id = new.id

obviously from different blocks (do you need more details?):
