Thread: Has the Update savepoint example outlived its usefulness?
Hey,
The example in the update documentation that does an upsert using a savepoint seems like it should just go away now that we have insert...on conflict. Making an explicit reference (and link) to that feature in the Update documentation should be added in its place (well, under notes).

I don't think so. The example that replaces it already exists on the INSERT documentation page, we just need to remove this example on the UPDATE page and point the user there instead.
