Yeah, I had come to the same conclusion after more thought. But we
could certainly aggregate all the similar events generated by a single
query into a common status structure.

That's a good question. If the first trigger firing tries to set the
event deferred, what happens to the remaining triggers? The SQL spec
doesn't even touch this question, so I think we are at liberty to do
what we like. I don't see that it's unreasonable to continue to fire
events that were marked as firable when we reached the end of the
current statement.

Right, that was what I was thinking.
