So you need to find out what's happening in the trigger. Perhaps auto_explain with auto_explain.log_nested_statements enabled would give some insight. I suspect there might be a permissions problem causing schema1_u to not be allowed to "see" the statistics for table_b, resulting in a bad plan choice for the FK enforcement query; but that's just a guess. regards, tom lane
