+// This File contructs a PostgreSQL trigger.
+// The trigger is fired BEFORE an INSERT or UPDATE of an article
+// or comment. It first calculates a CRC32 checksum of the row to be
+// inserted or updated and checks whether there exists already another
+// row with the same checksum and the same content. In this case,
+// the trigger returns NULL and thus, aborts the SQL command.
