PHP PDO - MySQL Query Create or Update (unique index) - php

Question

hope you are well.
I have a table in a MySQL (MariaDB) database with the below schema:
CREATE TABLE `scheduled_immobilise` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`account` varchar(32) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
`device` varchar(32) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
`allow_from` time DEFAULT NULL,
`allow_to` time DEFAULT NULL,
`active` varchar(6) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
`last_updated` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`cron_id_from` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`cron_id_to` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `unique` (`account`,`device`) USING BTREE
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=8 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
What I am trying to do is write a query that will either create a row (if the unique index doesn't exist), or if it already exists update it. I know you can do this by doing a select query first, but ultimately i was hoping to avoid this. Below is the SQL query I am using to create. Please note this is using PDO named placeholders..
INSERT INTO
scheduled_immobilise (
account,
device,
allow_from,
allow_to,
active
)
VALUES (
:account,
:device,
:allow_from,
:allow_to,
:active
)
Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

There's exactly a mysql option for this
INSERT INTO
scheduled_immobilise (
account,
device,
allow_from,
allow_to,
active
)
VALUES (
:account,
:device,
:allow_from,
:allow_to,
:active
)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE account = :account, device = device...etc

Answer 2

a slightly more correct answer
INSERT INTO
scheduled_immobilise (
account,
device,
allow_from,
allow_to,
active
)
VALUES (
:account,
:device,
:allow_from,
:allow_to,
:active
)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
account = values(account),
device = values(device)
...etc
it will let you to use placeholders of any type, in any mode and with any driver beside PDO, while other answer will work only if emulation mode for PDO is turned on.
