Yes, it can be done,
I'd write the trig to do a select on that PK and if %FOUND is true, update
otherwise in the exception handler for that block, do the insert.
begin
..
begin
select PK from table;
UPDATE
exception
INSERT
end
..
end

Listers,
I am attempting to write a trigger on a table that will have batch
inserts nightly. I want each insert to check to see if a record with that
primary key exists, and if it does, update the record. If the primary key
does not yet exist in the table, insert the record. The batch load each
night is a large series of inserts, no updates. I want the trigger to
figure out it if needs to update or insert.
Can this be done??
Thank you,
-Fred Smith
