UPDATE INSERT INTO code example

Example 1: mysql insert exists update

INSERT INTO table (column_list)
VALUES (value_list)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
   c1 = v1, 
   c2 = v2,
   ...;

Example 2: sql insert or update

-- Oracle: Example for Insert or update in t1 from t2 values 
MERGE INTO table1 t1
USING table2 t2
ON (t1.CODE = t2.ID)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
    UPDATE SET t1.COL1 = t2.VALUE1
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
    INSERT (CODE, COL1)  VALUES (t2.ID, t2.VALUE1);

-- MySql (makes a INSERT + DELETE if existing)
REPLACE INTO table1 (pk_id, col1) VALUES (5, 'aaaa');
--
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (key, generation)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE (key = key, generation = generation + 1);
