Still think this is something for a BEFORE INSERT TRIGGER:
I think a trigger is overkill for just a simple data-combining

need them.
Well the flip side to that argument is that a trigger is a single point
of reference for the data changing. You can hit the table from wherever
and whatever and have the same thing happen. No wrestling with ORMs to
get database specific code to run. No tracking down where the query is
that is munging the data. Not saying one approach is inherently better
than the other, just that there are options.
