Brian,

Look at the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE syntax within the INSERT SYNTAX of the 
Docs.  That should give you what you want.

I have a need to insert a record only when the combination of 3
fields is unique. I do this by having an index with all 3 fields, and
doing an INSERT IGNORE. This works fine.

Here's the element I can't figure out how to add: When there is a pre-
existing record, I want to update two of its columns, rather than
adding a new record.

Any suggestions???
