|
<p>The ON CONFLICT clause is a
|
|
non-standard extension specific to SQLite
|
|
that can appear in many other SQL commands.
|
|
It is given its own section in this document because it is not
|
|
part of standard SQL and therefore might not be familiar.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The ON CONFLICT clause described here has been a part of
|
|
SQLite since before version 3.0.0 (2004-06-18). The phrase
|
|
"ON CONFLICT" is also part of <a href="lang_upsert.html">UPSERT</a>, which is an extension
|
|
to <a href="lang_insert.html">INSERT</a> added in version 3.24.0 (2018-06-04). Do not
|
|
confuse these two separate uses of the "ON CONFLICT" phrase.
|
|
|
|
</p><p>The syntax for the ON CONFLICT clause is as shown above for
|
|
the CREATE TABLE command. For the INSERT and
|
|
UPDATE commands, the keywords "ON CONFLICT" are replaced by "OR" so that
|
|
the syntax reads more naturally. For example, instead of
|
|
"INSERT ON CONFLICT IGNORE" we have "INSERT OR IGNORE".
|
|
The keywords change but the meaning of the clause is the same
|
|
either way.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The ON CONFLICT clause applies to <a href="lang_createtable.html#uniqueconst">UNIQUE</a>, <a href="lang_createtable.html#notnullconst">NOT NULL</a>,
|
|
<a href="lang_createtable.html#ckconst">CHECK</a>, and <a href="lang_createtable.html#primkeyconst">PRIMARY KEY</a> constraints.
|
|
The ON CONFLICT algorithm does not
|
|
apply to <a href="foreignkeys.html">FOREIGN KEY constraints</a>.
|
|
There are five conflict resolution algorithm choices:
|
|
ROLLBACK, ABORT, FAIL, IGNORE, and REPLACE.
|
|
The default conflict resolution algorithm is ABORT. This
|
|
is what they mean:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><b>ROLLBACK</b></dt>
|
|
<dd><p> When an applicable constraint violation occurs, the ROLLBACK
|
|
resolution algorithm aborts the current SQL statement with
|
|
an SQLITE_CONSTRAINT error and rolls back the current transaction.
|
|
If no transaction is
|
|
active (other than the implied transaction that is created on every
|
|
command) then the ROLLBACK resolution algorithm works the same as the
|
|
ABORT algorithm.</p></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>ABORT</b></dt>
|
|
<dd><p> When an applicable constraint violation occurs, the ABORT
|
|
resolution algorithm aborts the current SQL statement
|
|
with an SQLITE_CONSTRAINT error and backs out any changes
|
|
made by the current SQL statement; but changes caused
|
|
by prior SQL statements within the same transaction are preserved and the
|
|
transaction remains active.
|
|
This is the default behavior and the behavior specified by the SQL
|
|
standard.</p></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>FAIL</b></dt>
|
|
<dd><p> When an applicable constraint violation occurs, the FAIL
|
|
resolution algorithm aborts the current SQL statement with an
|
|
SQLITE_CONSTRAINT error. But the FAIL resolution does not
|
|
back out prior changes of the SQL statement that failed nor does
|
|
it end the transaction.
|
|
For example, if an UPDATE
|
|
statement encountered a constraint violation on the 100th row that
|
|
it attempts to update, then the first 99 row changes are preserved
|
|
but changes to rows 100 and beyond never occur.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FAIL behavior only works for uniqueness, NOT NULL, and CHECK
|
|
constraints. A <a href="foreignkeys.html">foreign key constraint</a> violation causes an ABORT.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>IGNORE</b></dt>
|
|
<dd><p> When an applicable constraint violation occurs,
|
|
the IGNORE resolution algorithm skips the one row that contains
|
|
the constraint violation and continues processing subsequent rows
|
|
of the SQL statement as if nothing went wrong.
|
|
Other rows before and after the row that
|
|
contained the constraint violation are inserted or updated
|
|
normally. No error is returned for uniqueness, NOT NULL, and
|
|
UNIQUE constraint errors when the IGNORE conflict resolution
|
|
algorithm is used. However, the IGNORE conflict resolution
|
|
algorithm works like ABORT for <a href="foreignkeys.html">foreign key constraint</a> errors.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>REPLACE</b></dt>
|
|
<dd><p> When a <a href="lang_createtable.html#uniqueconst">UNIQUE</a> or <a href="lang_createtable.html#primkeyconst">PRIMARY KEY</a> constraint violation occurs,
|
|
the REPLACE algorithm
|
|
deletes pre-existing rows that are causing the constraint violation
|
|
prior to inserting or updating the current row and the command continues
|
|
executing normally.
|
|
If a <a href="lang_createtable.html#notnullconst">NOT NULL</a> constraint violation occurs, the REPLACE conflict
|
|
resolution replaces the NULL value with
|
|
the default value for that column, or if the column has no default
|
|
value, then the ABORT algorithm is used.
|
|
If a <a href="lang_createtable.html#ckconst">CHECK constraint</a> or <a href="foreignkeys.html">foreign key constraint</a> violation occurs,
|
|
the REPLACE conflict resolution algorithm works like ABORT.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When the REPLACE conflict resolution strategy deletes rows in order to
|
|
satisfy a constraint, <a href="lang_createtrigger.html">delete triggers</a> fire if and only if
|
|
<a href="pragma.html#pragma_recursive_triggers">recursive triggers</a> are enabled.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="c3ref/update_hook.html">update hook</a> is not invoked for rows that
|
|
are deleted by the REPLACE conflict resolution strategy. Nor does
|
|
REPLACE increment the <a href="c3ref/changes.html">change counter</a>.
|
|
The exceptional behaviors defined in this paragraph might change
|
|
in a future release.</p>
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>The algorithm specified in the OR clause of an INSERT or UPDATE
|
|
overrides any algorithm specified in a CREATE TABLE.
|
|
If no algorithm is specified anywhere, the ABORT algorithm is used.</p>
