Well, I'm specifically thinking of master partition tables. In that
case, we really want an INSTEAD OF trigger.
It seems a little silly that I need to create a separate view, and then
an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view, in order to get a rows-updated count
back from an INSERT which hits a partitioned table.
