Upsert
upsert
I believe comes from the mysql world is, from what I understand, a
mashup of insert
and delete
. Instead of deleting a record and then inserting
the new value you want you can run an upsert
which will update the record if
it exists and insert it if its doesn't currently exist. upsert
is used as a
term outside of mysql now like Kapp from the k14s suite.
