Hi Rob,
i think to use REPLACE would do, if there is a unique index on myid:
REPACE mytable (myid, myname) VALUES (myid, mynewname);
The Manual say in chapter 6.4.8:
REPLACE works exactly like INSERT, except that if an old record in the table
has the same value as a new record on a UNIQUE index
See the REPLACE command: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/REPLACE.html
