What did you mean with "many inserts or updates"? Did you mean statements
which modify or insert many rows but are still one single statement: you
could use rules instead. I think rules are much more powerful than triggers
and they are much faster if a statement affects many rows. Triggers fires for
each row, rules are just modifying the original statement. so usually if you
can handle the load of the statements you should handle the loads of
statements rewritten by rules, too. Rules are usually much more efficient
than triggers. And they are much more relational in my opinion.
