implementing “update if exists” in Doctrine ORM

Question

I am trying to INSERT OR UPDATE IF EXISTS in one transaction.

in mysql, I would generally use DUPLICATE KEY (\"UPDATE ON

Answer 1

The only thing I can think of is to query first for the entity if it exists otherwise create new entity.

if(!$entity = Doctrine::getTable('Foo')->find(/*[insert id]*/))
{
   $entity = new Foo();
}
/*do logic here*/
$entity->save();
