An INSERT, followed by an UPDATE on fail should be more efficient.  I can't
remember where I saw that years ago (asktom?), but my own testing confirmed
it in some older version of Oracle (9 or 10).

I was thinking along the same lines though and wondering if a MERGE
statement in place of the INSERT/UPDATE would work...
