Hi Oleg

I don't want to fight with you, but INSERT also supports SET:

INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]
   [INTO] tbl_name
   SET col_name={expr | DEFAULT}, ...

And here is the REPLACE syntax:

REPLACE [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED]
   [INTO] tbl_name
   SET col_name={expr | DEFAULT}, ...

In fact, both INSERT and REPLACE support the *exact same* 3 different syntaxes:

REPLACE/INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED]
   [INTO] tbl_name [(col_name,...)]
   VALUES ({expr | DEFAULT},...),(...),...

Or:

REPLACE/INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED]
   [INTO] tbl_name
   SET col_name={expr | DEFAULT}, ...

Or:

REPLACE/INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED]
   [INTO] tbl_name [(col_name,...)]
   SELECT ...

But UPDATE only has 1 syntax:

UPDATE [LOW_PRIORITY] [IGNORE] tbl_name
   SET col_name1=expr1 [, col_name2=expr2 ...]
   [WHERE where_condition]
   [ORDER BY ...]
   [LIMIT row_count]

I can also post code that proves this, although you can save me some time by just reading the 3 pages of MySQL documentation.

I will have to disagree again - please read the page that you link to below carefully: "|REPLACE| works exactly like |INSERT|

   SQLObject is more interested in syntax. SET and name/value pairs make it
much more like UPDATE than INSERT.
