Create some queue table, and let the after-statement trigger insert a
record into the queue.

Some daemon, or a cron-job, can then periodically check the queue, and
perform the action you want to do asynchronously.

If you don't want to use polling to find new queue entries, you can use
notify/listen to inform the daemon of new queue entries.
