The basic idea is to for the insert trigger to not explicitly kick
off the work you need to have done, but simply insert a row into a
"work request table". A separate process notices that there is a
work request, and performs the work. This can be done by a periodic
cron job, or using NOTIFY/LISTEN.
There was a fairly detailed discussion of this last month - the
