In MySQL, I can use the replace statement which either updates the data there or inserts it. Is there a comporable syntax to use in postgreSQL? I need to do an insert and don't want to have to worry about if the data is already there or not...so don't want to see if it there, if so do update if not insert...etc. Thanks.
In Oracle this is called the MERGE statement, but it not yet in pg. It is on the TODO list, though.
