in sequelize (javascript) it's pretty straightforward to either find a record, or create it if it doesn't exist. I don't see anything similar with sea-orm. There's a 'save' method that seems to insert or update, but I need to know details about the record ahead of time :/

Any ideas?

I have never used sea-orm, but I wonder if .on_conflict could be used to simplify the code above?

This is likely what OP will have to do. It actually looks like ANSI SQL now has merge, but you can scroll down a bit and see how each DB handles it slightly differently if you don't use merge.

I think I had that in a few attempts, I can't remember why I removed it. Thanks for pointing this out.
