There’s still a lot of weirdness in CQL. For example, you can do an INSERT with an UPDATE .. .which I’m generally fine with. Kind of make sense.
However, with INSERT you can do IF NOT EXISTS. … but you can’t do the same thing on UPDATE. So I foolishly wrote all my code assuming that INSERT/UPDATE were orthogonal, but now they’re not. you can still do IF on UPDATE though… but it’s not possible to do IF mycolumn IS NULL .. so is there a way to mimic IF NOT EXISTS on UPDATE or is this just a bug? -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: *San Francisco, CA* blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile <https://plus.google.com/102718274791889610666/posts> <http://spinn3r.com>
