Sqlite has options to handle an update that causes a duplicate key. Is there 
anything similar in Postgres?

 

This is not an UPSERT. The scenario is an UPDATE that changes some key field so 
that there is now a duplicate key. In Sqlite this handled as:

 

UPDATE OR IGNORE table SET <etc>

UPDATE OR REPLACE table SET <etc>

And so on

See https://www.sqlite.org/lang_update.html. 

 

Can Postgres do this?
