Does upsert works like update

Hello,

For a custom object i have around 100 custom fields.
I want to update some fields, i know that with Update my fucntion will work but i was wondering if the Upsert does the same work too.
I dont want to loose the earlier values.

Thank you for suggestions

Hi Sandrine,

Using the upsert operation, you can either insert or update an existing record in one call. To determine whether a record already exists, the upsert statement or Database method uses the record’s ID as the key to match records, a custom external ID field, or a standard field with the idLookup attribute set to true.
If the key is not matched, then a new object record is created.
If the key is matched once, then the existing object record is updated.

Thanks,
Dhanya
