Question

I would like to use ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE in Zend Framework 1.5, is this possible?

Example

INSERT INTO sometable (...) VALUES (...) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ... 

Answer 1

I worked for Zend and specifically worked on Zend_Db quite a bit.

No, there is no API support for the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE syntax. For this case, you must simply use query() and form the complete SQL statement yourself.

I do not recommend interpolating values into the SQL as harvejs shows. Use query parameters.

Edit: You can avoid repeating the parameters by using VALUES() expressions.

$sql = 'INSERT INTO sometable (id, col2, col3) VALUES (:id, :col2, :col3)   ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE col2 = VALUES(col2), col3 = VALUES(col3)';  $values = array('id'=>1, 'col2'=>327, 'col3'=>'active');
