Hello, I'd like to make insert into db if record not exist otherwise update. to save typing list of columns in both statements I do following
query = "SELECT location FROM table WHERE location = %s AND id = %s;" result = self._getResult(db, query, [location,id]) fields = ['id', 'location', 'wl', 'modified', 'counter', 'name'] if result: t = map(lambda s: s + ' = %s', fields) temp = ", ".join(t) query = "UPDATE table SET " + temp + " WHERE location = %s AND id = %s;" self._execQuery(db, query, [id, location, self.wl, 'NOW()', 1, name, location, id]) else: f = ", ".join(fields) query = """ INSERT INTO table (""" + f + """) VALUES (%s,%s,%s,NOW()- interval '1 day', 1, %s) """ self._execQuery(db, query, [id, location, self.wl, name]) is there better or more readable way to do it?
