Actually if you are using 4.1.x INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,3) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE c=3;
One of the best new features, because insert is faster than an update, update is faster than a delete, and replace is the slowest command you can run. These are based on my benchmarks about 6 months ago. This is definitely one of my favorite commands now. Donny > -----Original Message----- > From: B.
