How to perform an UPSERT operation?

[agersant]

Hi and thanks for writing native_db. I am evaluating it for the next major version of https://github.com/agersant/polaris and I am curious what is the recommended way of performing an UPSERT (update or insert) operation for a given primary key?

You are correct, there was no upsert function on the existing release of Native DB. This has been added for version 0.8.0, which will be released next week. (See code upsert).

If you want to perform an upsert with previous versions, you can check for existence using get and use insert or update depending on whether the data exists.
