IF you use raw SQL you can do

  INSERT OR REPLACE INTO table ....

OR

  INSERT OR IGNORE INTO table ....


The first will do an update or insert
The second will insert only it its new

Either way the engine will have to look it up just like you would BUT
this lets the engine handle it instead of you having to explicitly
handle it

Thanks much for the help with this. It turns out I realized overnight
that I need to clear the table and start from scratch with a fresh
list because users could uncheck items to take them out of the list as
well. I haven't had my coffee yet this morning, so this could all
change again. But either way I can see some potential for using these
functions in other ways.
