I have a basic MSSQL7 question - we have a table with no unique identifier (don't ask 
- I didn't design it) where, on an insert, we want to update a record if it exists and 
insert it if it doesn't.  The record can be identified only by a combination of 
columns.  For example - 

select a,b,c,d,e,f from sometable where ...

In other words, selection based on 7 columns or so is the only way to uniquely 
identify a record.  So, is it possible to have a trigger check for uniqueness and 
insert or update a record depending on whether the record was found?

Thanks,
