Subject Re: [firebird-support] Correct use of "UPDATE OR INSERT...."
Author Eduardo Lopez
Thanks Sasha, i'm already using a stored procedure, to insert or update an item in a stock table.
Just now, i'm doing a select to find if the records exists and do the corresponding insert or update the quantity of stock.
I think that the new syntax could be more simple and clear, with few lines of code.
