Simple insertOrUpdate (insert ... on duplicate key update)

See original GitHub issue

Problem

I want to create an ez “insert … on duplicate key update” query. I see no reason why this should only be possible via a raw query.

prisma.myTable.insertOrUpdate({data: {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}, overwrite: {a: true, c: true}})

Isn’t upsert, that @pantharshit00 linked to, doing exactly that? What is the difference you are hoping to see here?

The current upsert offered by Prisma has a race condition (#3242). It would be optimal if at least the Postgres/Mysql/Mongodb drivers used the database’s native upsert to avoid that.

I currently have to use raw SQL to do upserts to continue using Prisma. But other than that it’s such a nice library 🥰

Actually I managed to achieve what I was looking for using create/update in nested writes within a for… of loop.

I will take a look into PostGreSQL’s ON CONFLICT. Thanks!
