hi,
i think what you;re trying to do is wrong - having that many tables
simply cannot work properly.
additionally - i think you're misinformed. the kind of action you
would like to "trigger on" is not "per statement" but "per row".
example:
insert into table x (field) select other_field from other_table;
if this insert would insert 10 records - "once per statement" trigger
would be called only once.

but anyway - what you're proposing will lead to many, many problems.
(plus it will never scale correctly).
