Hi,

Suppose that I have a table with three columns h1, h2, v. I want to
delete all rows with h1=a, and insert rows like the following (data
shown in TSV format), only if there is not an entry with h1=a and
h2="" (empty), it exists but its v is not equal to a value X.

a,A,v1
a,B,v2
...

I am not sure if there is a way to check an entry to know whether new
entries can be inserted. Could anybody show me an example if this can
be done?
