Hi Ravi

You are correct. I was just sitting here thinking about this after I sent that and realized that what I said was incorrect; the "REPLACE" command will not do what you want, because it delete a record instead of updating it, it has no way to know what the previous value is. You probably should define a stored procedure and call that. Here is an example which seems to work:


Why not use this....

INSERT INTO table
VALUES(......)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
X = $X, y=$y ......
