You might want to create a temporary table to hold unique identifiers of
all records that you want to either delete or edit, and make use of a
RETURNING clause to determine which got deleted, then update the records
NOT IN that returning clause values (or use EXCEPT). Perhaps that would get
you where you want to end up.
