Hi,

I'm using Perl to maintain a database.  I'd like to search for a record
in a database and if it does not exist, add it.  Otherwise, just update
the fields.  In my script, I have:

 $sqlCmd = $dbh->prepare("SELECT PortName FROM Ports where PortName =
'$port' ");
 $sqlCmd->execute();

Where '$port' is a scaler variable.
If the record exists, I suppose I can do an INSERT. If not, I'll do an
UPDATE.  I can't seem to find the code/function to check for this simple
test.

Thanks,
Don
