Well, either will work. My inclination is that a single statement
should cause one execution of the FOR EACH STATEMENT trigger, but if
a good case can be made that we should have a FOR EACH STATEMENT
trigger fire for each clause within a statement -- well, it won't be
a problem for matview maintenance. The biggest hurt there would be
to *my* sense of aesthetics. ;-)
