Would using temporary tables be a feasible solution? That seems to be functionally what I want, but maybe it's hard to write triggers that write to temp tables.
Maybe a persistent log table is OK, and each transaction is responsible for deleting its own rows from it? Sounds like a lot of churn though...
Maybe that would be useful. I've never used them, though, so don't know any gotchas.
Thanks for the suggestion. That seems semantically close to what I'm looking for. In my case we're working with Amazon RDS, so I don't think ad hoc extensions are permitted.
