Disable trigger with Postgresql 7.4.x?

Hello,

I read in an old thread

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-08/msg0007 9.php

.... that starting with Postgresql 7.3, there is a new way to disable and
enable triggers in Postgresql. The "old" way was:

update pg_class set reltriggers=3D0 where relname =3D 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME';
update pg_class set reltriggers =3D count(*) from pg_trigger where
pg_class.oid=3Dtgrelid and relname=3D'YOUR_TABLE_NAME';

What is the recommended way of doing that under Postgresql 7.4.x?

Thanks

Same. We haven't added a better way yet.
