I was thinking something like

IF count(*) % 10000 = 0 then
... do stuff ...
end if

Problem may be that that may be a bit expensive; maybe better to have a
sequence and use the sequence value.

Or something like that.

Also, maybe you should do the actual update of click_count not in the trigger
itself, but have the trigger do a NOTIFY and have another process do a
LISTEN. Depends how long the update takes.
