Hello,

I am trying to optimize the SQL calls that my application makes. I
have a scenario where words are inserted into a table. Now each word
will have a column called "confidence". There is a unique primary key
on "word".

When inserting a word, first I check if the words exists by performing
a "select" query. If it exists, I fire an update query to increment
the confidence for that word.  If word is not available, I fire an
insert query to insert the word.

In both the cases, I can't skip doing two queries. One for checking
existence and second for updating or creating. I am wondering is there
an easy way to solve this by just doing one query? I have tried
"insert or replace", but I can't use that as it changes the rowid's.

Any help would be great!
