Hi

I am working on a search logging script to count the most popular word or
phrases searched for.

Table

I could add a line for each search, and aggregate the results for reports,
but I was wondering about the following which would keep table sizes down.

| search word  | count  |
=========================
| Nuts         |    125 |
| Bolts        |    119 |
| Screws       |    110 |
| Washers      |     98 |

If the word is already in the table increment the counter, if not add the
word and set counter to 1

query 1 => update counter where word = "search word"

if no records updated
query 2 => insert word and set counter to 1

Is there a single query that will do this or does it have to be 2?

thanks

Peter
