from: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/insert.html:
INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]
[INTO] tbl_name
SET col_name={expr | DEFAULT}, ...
[ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
col_name=expr
[, col_name=expr] ... ]
The ON DUPLICATE KEY predicate tells you that if you create a unique
key for when ever your 'search' criteria is, you can get this
behaviour like so:
INSERT INTO mytable SET col1 = val1, ... ON DUPLIATE KEY UPDATE

Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If they’re any good,
you’ll have to ram them down their throats!
