Insert or update value on table where values can be repeated multiple times












0















Previously I was using the following table:



CREATE TABLE Users(user BIGINT PRIMARY KEY, 
item_count INT);


which allowed me to do a simple upsert:



INSERT INTO Users(user, item_count) 
VALUES($1, $2)
ON CONFLICT(user) DO
UPDATE SET item_cout = user.item_count + 1;


However I want to switch my table to have more columns so each user have a different item_count per server so I did:



CREATE TABLE Users(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, 
server BIGINT NOT NULL,
user BIGINT NOT NULL,
item_count INT);


However I'm not allowed to do an ON CONFLICT anymore in this case because neither server nor user are unique, and they can be repeated throughout the table for example:



id  server  user  item_count
1 1 1 95
2 2 1 345
3 1 2 594
4 3 1 0


Is there any way to do an upsert with the second table instead of separating the query into two statements? (one for insert if not exists and one for updating)
