Replace will not do an update. All previous data will be lost.
A mysql-centric alternative solution would be to use INSERT ... ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
This is a question I want to know the answer to, as well! Is there any way of
avoiding looking up a specific record in a table to see if it exists, before
deciding whether to INSERT INTO or UPDATE, eg:
mstrSQL = SELECT * FROM Shops WHERE ShopReference = '
grd1.TextMatrix(numRowNo, 1) '
INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE:

,(xx,xx,xx),(xx,xx,xx),(xx,xx,xx) in a values block. BUT Is it possible to
insert if not there for example
Update
if anyone not found then insert new
