Feature request: Parameter for "ON CONFLICT"

Is it possible that the transfer from the temporary table into the target table can be (optionally) extended with na ON CONFLICT ... DO NOTHING;. e.g.

Database.objects.from_csv(path, on_conflict="nothing", on_conflict_keys=["key"])

➡️

INSERT INTO table
SELECT * FROM temp_table
ON CONFLICT (key)
DO NOTHING;

? This would be of great help. Right now I’m using your tool to insert data into a table, except when there are duplicates. To achieve this I’m creating a temporary table with the above SQL command. But this results in two temporary tables, which could be avoided with an option for ON CONFLICT.

Thanks Oliver

Mh. You are right. Right now I don’t need that anymore anyway. But you might need to specify that setting ignore_conflicts, one should also set drop_indexes and drop_constraints to False, otherwise there are no conflicts that this setting might apply to.

I didn’t include that because I didn’t see it in the Django implementation. Did I miss it there? Why do you see this as critical?
