Re: Easy form of "insert if it isn't already there"?

Yes it is.
You can implement trigger on table to check if inserted record is new. Still it is on DB side.
I don't know PHP well enough but I think You can call function e.g. SELECT myschema."InsertWhenNew" ("val1", "val2", "val3"); in the same way as You call INSERTS

Ah, thanks for that!

Currently the query is a single PHP pg_query_params() call, and it's
inside a larger transaction. By the look of it, this requires writing
a function to do the job, rather than embedding the logic straight
into the query - is this correct?
