I've looked into something other than delete/copy a few times and the problem I always run into is the lack of primary key.

Conceptually the problem is a bit broader, because an OSM object can result in one or multiple database rows, and the number of rows can change in an update.

Because a modify can change the number of rows we **have** to use an insert or delete somewhere behind the scenes. I don't see that a custom function would help either, since the database triggers are still going to catch the insert and delete.

If you have a primary key it becomes fairly easy - all inserts and modifications in append mode become an `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ...`
