Sure. But that's still the same as MySQL's (equally non-standard) "ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE", and various others. It's a way of shoving down
a level the common idiom of "do this insert, only if that doesn't
work, do this update instead". But that doesn't seem to be what the
original code was doing - it was more like "do this insert, but if
it's a duplicate based on URL, check if the other fields are the same,
and if not... uhh, print something out?", which is far from common.
