If you have data as JSON, you can use ``sqlite-utils insert tablename`` to insert it into a database. The table will be created with the correct (automatically detected) columns if it does not already exist.

Upserting 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.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
This will replace the record for id=2 (Pancakes) with a new record with an updated age.
