Upserting data
==============
Insert-replacing data
=====================
Upserting works exactly like inserting, with the exception that if your data has a primary key that matches an already exsting record that record will be replaced with the new data.
Insert-replacing works exactly like inserting, with the exception that if your data has a primary key that matches an already exsting record that record will be replaced with the new data.
After running the above ``dogs.json`` example, try running this::
$ echo '{"id": 2, "name": "Pancakes", "age": 3}' | \
sqlite-utils upsert dogs.db dogs - --pk=id
sqlite-utils insert dogs.db dogs - --pk=id --replace
This will replace the record for id=2 (Pancakes) with a new record with an updated age.
