newbie question - delete before insert

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

a question that I imagine is a faq but have not been able to find much help.

How do people implement insert or upate ( otherwise known as upsert ) behaviour in postgres i.e. insert a row if it's key does not exist in the database else update the existing row?

I tried using an insert rule to delete any existing rows first then insert however this leads to infinitely recursive rules ( which postgres properly rejects. )

I'm guesisng that the most sensible approach would be a stored proc/function?

Cheers
G.
