Not with a normal table trigger. Try creating a non-updateable view with an
"instead of" trigger for the insert.

Listers,
I am attempting to write a trigger on a table that will have batch
inserts nightly. I want each insert to check to see if a record with that
primary key exists, and if it does, update the record. If the primary key
does not yet exist in the table, insert the record. The batch load each
night is a large series of inserts, no updates. I want the trigger to
figure out it if needs to update or insert.
Can this be done??
Thank you,
-Fred Smith
