This might work for small single user applications. You'll have to keep an eye on dead tuples in pg_user_table_counts though. But as soon as there are several concurrent transactions doing both INSERTs and DELETEs, your solution will in the best case serialise access to test_tbl or it will break down because of deadlocks.
