Insert/Upsert Method

Overview

The Insert method in QueryDeck allows you to add new records to your database. The Upsert method is a combination of "update" and "insert," allowing you to either insert a new record or update an existing one if a conflict occurs. This ensures data consistency and prevents duplicate entries when using unique constraints.

With QueryDeck’s Insert/Upsert method, you can:

• Add new records to your database.

• Handle conflicts using the on_conflict clause.

• Update records if they already exist based on specified constraints.

Using the Insert or Upsert query:

1. Select the Base Table

• From the left pane in the demo app, choose a base table to use. For this example, we will use the customers table.

2. Configure the Query Method

• In the left pane:

  • Change the Method to Insert or Upsert.

• Update the Route Name if required.

3. Save the Endpoint

• Click on the Save button at the bottom of the left pane.

• Your endpoint for Insert/Upsert is now ready.

Testing

• Copy the endpoint URL by clicking it in the top right corner

• Open Postman:

  • Paste the endpoint URL into the input field.

  • Change the request method to POST.

  

Add a Sample Request Body

• Under the Body tab in Postman:

  • Select raw as the body type.
