You can use replace into, but note it cannot do
Replace into table VALUES (1,2,3,col4+1);

Use REPLACE instead. It is similar to the INSERT except that, it will
replace any old record that match - with the new one. A replace
statement may look like this:
REPLACE INTO TestTable (TestId, User) VALUES ("007","Bond");

No, but you might want to look at REPLACE INTO to simulate this
effect.
