As no ideas were offered here, I'm currently thinking about saving the
intermediate states in some kind of global hashed variable.

For the cleanup work, in case the query is aborted in the middle (and so
the finishing function is never called), is there any way I can register
a hook that gets called on commit / rollback of the current
(sub)transaction?

Thanks,
Markus
