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.
