Frank, I think what Robert meant was the proper UPSERT, not a combination of two separate statements, INSERT + UPDATE. NCR had coined the word
'atomic' to emphasize that with UPSERT Teradata needs to make a single pass to perform two actions.
When I heard the word for the first time I thought they were referring to the requirement to specify all PI columns in the WHERE clause but
no.
