这正是我所面临的问题，我的版本是9.5

我用下面的SQL查询来解决它。

INSERT INTO example_table (id, name)
SELECT 1 AS id, 'John' AS name FROM example_table
WHERE NOT EXISTS(
            SELECT id FROM example_table WHERE id = 1
    )
LIMIT 1;

希望这能帮助那些在>= 9.5版本有同样问题的人。

感谢阅读。

我正在寻找一个类似的解决方案，试图找到在PostgreSQL和HSQLDB中工作的SQL。(HSQLDB使这变得困难。)以你的例子为基础，这是我在其他地方发现的格式。

sql = "INSERT INTO hundred (name,name_slug,status)"
sql += " ( SELECT " + hundred + ", '" + hundred_slug + "', " + status
sql += " FROM hundred"
sql += " WHERE name = " + hundred + " AND name_slug = '" + hundred_slug + "' AND status = " + status
sql += " HAVING COUNT(*) = 0 );"

不幸的是，PostgreSQL既不支持MERGE也不支持ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE，所以你必须在两个语句中完成:

UPDATE  invoices
SET     billed = 'TRUE'
WHERE   invoices = '12345'

INSERT
INTO    invoices (invoiceid, billed)
SELECT  '12345', 'TRUE'
WHERE   '12345' NOT IN
        (
        SELECT  invoiceid
        FROM    invoices
        )

你可以把它包装成一个函数:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_upd_invoices(id VARCHAR(32), billed VARCHAR(32))
RETURNS VOID
AS
$$
        UPDATE  invoices
        SET     billed = $2
        WHERE   invoices = $1;

        INSERT
        INTO    invoices (invoiceid, billed)
        SELECT  $1, $2
        WHERE   $1 NOT IN
                (
                SELECT  invoiceid
                FROM    invoices
                );
$$
LANGUAGE 'sql';

就叫它:

SELECT  fn_upd_invoices('12345', 'TRUE')

这是一个通用的python函数，给定表名，列和值，生成相当于postgresql的upsert。

def upsert(table_name, id_column, other_columns, values_hash):

    template = """

        'field1': "john",
        'field2': "doe"
    }
    print upsert(my_table_name, my_id_column, my_other_columns, my_values_hash)

INSERT INTO invoices (invoiceid, billed) (
    SELECT '12345','TRUE' WHERE NOT EXISTS (
        SELECT 1 FROM invoices WHERE invoiceid='12345' AND billed='TRUE'
        )
)

Psycopgs游标类具有rowcount属性。

此只读属性指定最后的行数 execute*()产生的(对于像SELECT这样的DQL语句)或影响的(对于 DML语句，如UPDATE或INSERT)。

因此，您可以先尝试UPDATE，然后仅在rowcount为0时尝试INSERT。

但是根据数据库中的活动级别，您可能会在UPDATE和INSERT之间遇到竞争条件，其中另一个进程可能会在此期间创建该记录。
