Description

Trying to take advantage of statement-level triggers in Postgres using QGIS, I noticed some unfortunate behaviour.

Take this example:

Inserting two rows into a table in QGIS and then pressing save is processed as two separate statements, instead of one statement inserting two rows.

To replicate the behaviour in postgres, when pressing save, having inserted the two rows would be equivalent to the following SQL:

-- Row 1
INSERT INTO table VALUES (xx);
-- Row 2
INSERT INTO table VALUES (yy);

-- Statement-level trigger would fire twice.

Instead of this behaviour:

INSERT INTO table VALUES
(xx), -- Row 1
(yy); -- Row 2

-- Statement-level trigger would fire once.

The same behaviour is applied when updating. :-(

Is this the intended behaviour using Postgres with QGIS?

Yes. Actually we are using prepared inserts (see source:src/providers/postgres/qgspostgresprovider.cpp#L1993)

Unfortunate.
