Hey everyone. Just signed up last night and had skimmed through several of the archives. Excited to partake in future discussions. I'm just taking the plunge into SQLite since I'm working with Adobe AIR and Flex. I'm building a desktop app that will sync data to a SQLite database. I have some experience with SQL Server and have been doing research on SQLite to find out what it supports and what it doesn't.
Is it possible in SQLite to have a single statement that basically says if this row exists run an UPDATE statement, if not run an INSERT? I believe these are done in procedures which I know is not supported in SQLite. I've seen a lot of discussions on triggers though and wonder if this is maybe something I should look into for what I want to achieve? Probably won't do the trick as it seems it runs after a data change/operation is made. I'm just learning and trying to figure out the best way to use SQLite through AIR to sync data from the server to the desktop as its only one way sync. Trying to make sure I get the best performance. If I can cut down on the statements I need to use figure it would help. But for now I have a feeling I need to do a SELECT statement to see if that row exists and based on that result perform an INSERT or UPDATE. I would repeat that for every result from the server.
