Postgresql插入或更新操作upsert

幂等性的一个要求是多次操作的结果一致。对于update操作，多次直接的结果都是最后update的值，是满足需求的。但对于insert，如果已经插入，第二次会报错，duplicate error， 主键重复或者unique key duplicate。所以需要做一下处理。

最简单的就是，try-catch，当报错的时候，调用update去更新，或者策略更简单点，直接返回就行，不需要更新，以第一条为准。

PostgreSQL从9.5之后就提供了原子的upsert语法： 不存在则插入，发生冲突可以update。

Inert语法

官方文档： https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/sql-insert.html

[ WITH [ RECURSIVE ] with_query [, ...] ]
INSERT INTO table_name [ AS alias ] [ ( column_name [, ...] ) ]
   [ OVERRIDING { SYSTEM | USER} VALUE ]
   { DEFAULT VALUES | VALUES ( { expression | DEFAULT } [, ...] ) [, ...] | query }
   [ ON CONFLICT [ conflict_target ] conflict_action ]
   [ RETURNING * | output_expression [ [ AS ] output_name ] [, ...] ]

where conflict_target can be one of:

   ( { index_column_name | ( index_expression ) } [ COLLATE collation ] [ opclass ] [, ...] ) [ WHERE index_predicate ]
   ON CONSTRAINT constraint_name

and conflict_action is one of:

   DO NOTHING
   DO UPDATE SET { column_name = { expression | DEFAULT } |
                   ( column_name [, ...] ) = [ ROW ] ( { expression | DEFAULT } [, ...] ) |
                   ( column_name [, ...] ) = ( sub-SELECT )
                 } [, ...]
             [ WHERE condition ]

index_column_name

The name of a table_name column. Used to infer arbiter indexes. Follows CREATE INDEX format. SELECT privilege on index_column_name is required.

index_expression

Similar to index_column_name, but used to infer expressions on table_name columns appearing within index definitions (not simple columns). Follows CREATE INDEX format. SELECT privilege on any column appearing within index_expression is required.

使用示例

创建表

CREATE TABLE "test"."upsert_test" (
 "id" int4 NOT NULL,
 "name" varchar(255) COLLATE "pg_catalog"."default"
)
;

当主键id冲突时，更新其他字段

INSERT INTO test.upsert_test(id, "name")
   VALUES(1, 'm'),(2, 'n'),(4, 'c')
   ON conflict(id) DO UPDATE
   SET "name" = excluded.name;

• did 冲突的主键
• EXCLUDED 代指要插入的记录

当主键或者unique key发生冲突时，什么都不做

INSERT INTO test.upsert_test(id, "name")
VALUES(1, 'm'),(2, 'n'),(4, 'c')
ON conflict(id)  DO NOTHING;
