How would I use ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE in my CodeIgniter model?

Question

I have a CodeIgniter/PHP Model and I want to insert some data into the database.

However, I have this set in my \'raw\' SQL query:

ON DUPLICATE KEY U

The link to the forum thread above is broken. I don't know of a better way than just using db->query for the call, if someone has a better solution, please post that.

$result = $this->CI->db->query(
    "INSERT INTO tablename (id, name, duplicate) VALUES (1, 'Joe', 1) ".
    "ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE duplicate=duplicate+1");

I hope this helps someone looking for a solution to this.
