I was wondering, would be a nice addition the ability to read the chain

"TG_CHAIN" or something else that will be an array with the name of the
triggers called before current trigger).

Well for a given table triggers run in alphabetical name order if that helps.

The idea is to be to detect the chain of events among different tables.

A similar effect (for debugging purposes) can be achieved altering every trigger function adding a "RAISE NOTICE 'you are on Trigger n'" at very beginning, and read the messages after... until it explodes stack space.
But having the chain of calls, you could do something like

IF TG_CHAIN[0] = 'trigger_i_want_detect' THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'database called this trigger twice. Check the chain of events: %', TG_CHAIN;
END IF;


(I know this is only desirable at development and test time, never at production).

Would help debug database triggers that have cascaded events.
