Hi there, Seems basic but I must be missing something… How can I perform an upsert operation using GraphQL? I can upsert using DQL but when I do, my inverse predicate doesn’t get linked, so I need a GraphQL upsert. Thanks.

This was one of the reasons the developers of Dgraph needed to invent DQL (GraphQL±) you can read more about that at: [image] Building a Native GraphQL Database: Challenges, Learnings and Future - Dgraph... “GraphQL is not a Graph DB query language — it’s a replacement for REST APIs.” T…

@amaster507 Thanks for your response. [image] amaster507: You will have to do it in 2 or more queries/mutations with a client side script. I understand there are current limitations in GQL but performing upsert operations should be atomic and are not desired in two steps, otherwise becomes a…

[image] iyinoluwaayoola: If the node does not exist I add them, otherwise, I update them. Simple enough to use the Add and Update queries but I prefer to perform operations like this in an atomic form. Care to give your feedback on: [image] GraphQL equivalient to Insert on D…

Sure @amaster507 . Your post there outlines the same question I’ve raised. Indeed it gets increasingly complex when you have multiple updates that can either be an Add or Update operation. What I want here is to be able to perform these mutations in one request. If this works, there are great benefit…

[image] iyinoluwaayoola: I’m not sure if you mean I don’t need a custom DQL for upsert or don’t need upsert in general. Yeah, I meant that. I thought that if Dgraph creates an “Update” it should behave as an “upsert”. But feels like it doesn’t. I haven’t used Dgraph’s GraphQL as much I should…

[image] MichelDiz: So, that’s exactly what a Custom DQL would do using the Upsert Block - So, you would create a specific GraphQL mutation for this. Indeed, thats what the Custom DQL will do but this route is not preferred because my GQL schema should enforce a database model/structure I.e., …

[image] MichelDiz: It should at least throw an error in the Update mutation. @MichelDiz , although this is slightly out of the scope of the question here, after reconsidering your point, I think the current behaviour is right according to GQL specs since this is technically not an error. Gra…

What is the status of this, I’m a new user confused as to how the heck to accomplish basic functionality like add a new user with unique email. GQL enforcing schema, auto CRUD api are all great but it seems like a total bait and switch now it appears I have to drill into the advanced level of manual…

If you use the update op you should be fine. The upsert would be in cases like “if it doesn’t exist, create a new one”. GraphQL spec doesn’t cover that. You have to manually set up such verification and probably do 2 operations, one to query and verify on your end, another the create or update. Als…
