postgres naming trigger

Taken From https://severalnines.com/database-blog/postgresql-triggers-and-stored-function-basics​
Pattern [TBALE_NAME]_[FUNCITON NAME]_[WHEN][1 or more WHY][t]
When:
b - Before
a - After
i - Instead of
WHY:
i - Insert
u - Update
d - Delete
t - Truncate
t = 'trigger'
eg: my_table_update_ts_biut means it's a trigger on my_table, triggers update_ts before insert & update
Reasoning: Just by looking at the trigger name, you know which table, and when it is triggered
example
-- function to update updated_at column during insert or update
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION update_timestamp()
    RETURNS trigger AS
$$
BEGIN
    NEW.updated_at := NOW();
    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
​
​
CREATE TRIGGER users_update_timestamp_biut
    BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
    ON users
    FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE update_timestamp();
