Description
### Component
v3-engine
v3-ndc-postgres
### Is your proposal related to a problem?
v2 was supporting upserts via
```gql
mutation upsert_article {
insert_article (
objects: [
{
id: 1
title: "First Article",
content: "Updated article 1 content",
published_on: "2018-10-12"
}
],
on_conflict: {
constraint: article_title_key,
update_columns: [content]
}
) {
returning {
id
title
content
published_on
}
}
}
```
this has not been implemented in v3 so far.
### Describe the solution you'd like
derive a dedicated upsert command for all persisted models.
```gql
mutation upsert_article {
upsertArticle (
objects: [
{
id: 1
title: "First Article",
content: "Updated article 1 content",
published_on: "2018-10-12"
}
],
update_columns: [content]
}
) {
returning {
id
title
content
published_on
}
}
}
```
### Describe alternatives you've considered
Implement upsert commands via native operations.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names v3-engine and v3-ndc-postgres as the relevant components; start by comparing the existing v2 upsert mutation shape with the proposed v3 command. Done means deriving a dedicated upsert command for all persisted models with the requested update_columns and returning behavior.
