Depending on the version of Pg there are two possible solutions to this problem. The first (old solution) that really only works well one row at a time is to do a stored procedure that does something like: update foo set bar = baz where id = in_id if not found insert into foo (bar) values (baz) end if; The newer way, which can be done in SQL with Pg 9.1 is to use writable common table expressions. See http://vibhorkumar.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/upsertmerge-using-writable-cte-in-postgresql-9-1/ for an example by Vibhor Kumar.
