Long time since I've posted here!
Anywayz, lol, I need some help on a query.
If there are no changes to a record, or it has similar data, how can I leave that, but insert any new data into the DB?
Thanks v much

i heard that deletes the whole record then inserts it again. However i have a field in there which will vary so deleting the whole record and then inserting will result in different data for that field i think lol

REPLACE INTO updates a record if it's key ID field is present else it inserts it :) Very useful at times :)
