Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hi! Please, consider adding occ tables:update <filename> functionality, as well as webUI, eg in the form of a switch when importing data: Insert new rows or Update existing.

This will extend significantly existing operations with data in tables.

Research direction

Start with the requested occ tables:update <filename> entry point and the webUI data-import flow. Determine how imports distinguish inserting new rows from updating existing rows, then define and test matching behavior for both interfaces. Done means file imports support the requested update mode in the CLI and the webUI switch exposes the same choice.
