Why is the UPDATE syntax so different from INSERT? If I'm constructing a SQL statement to insert or update based on the existence of a row in some code, I have to have two completely different cases to handle it. What were the SQL creators thinking?
What's strange is that I've been working with SQL for years and I've never considered the syntax difference annoying. Avast! -- Jeremy Stephens Computer Systems Analyst I Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University
