MySQL
Engine: InnoDB

I have a table, and I need two strings as primary key.
The reason for this is because I want ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE depended on those two strings.
How do I do that?
Ty in advance.

    You should not use them as primary keys. Use them as UNIQUE indices instead, and ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE will still work. I would advise that you set your primary key to be a single integer type column that is completely independent of your data.

    Have a look at this example: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/41f2d/1
