+
+<p>The ON CONFLICT clause is a
+non-standard extension specific to SQLite
+that can appear in many other SQL commands.
+It is given its own section in this document because it is not
+part of standard SQL and therefore might not be familiar.</p>
+
+<p>The ON CONFLICT clause described here has been a part of
+SQLite since before version 3.0.0 (2004-06-18). The phrase
+"ON&nbsp;CONFLICT" is also part of <a href="lang_upsert.html">UPSERT</a>, which is an extension
+to <a href="lang_insert.html">INSERT</a> added in version 3.24.0 (2018-06-04). Do not
+confuse these two separate uses of the "ON&nbsp;CONFLICT" phrase.
+
+</p><p>The syntax for the ON CONFLICT clause is as shown above for
+the CREATE TABLE command. For the INSERT and
+UPDATE commands, the keywords "ON CONFLICT" are replaced by "OR" so that
+the syntax reads more naturally. For example, instead of
+"INSERT ON CONFLICT IGNORE" we have "INSERT OR IGNORE".
+The keywords change but the meaning of the clause is the same
+either way.</p>
+
+<p>The ON CONFLICT clause applies to <a href="lang_createtable.html#uniqueconst">UNIQUE</a>, <a href="lang_createtable.html#notnullconst">NOT NULL</a>,
+<a href="lang_createtable.html#ckconst">CHECK</a>, and <a href="lang_createtable.html#primkeyconst">PRIMARY KEY</a> constraints.
+The ON CONFLICT algorithm does not
+apply to <a href="foreignkeys.html">FOREIGN KEY constraints</a>.
+There are five conflict resolution algorithm choices:
+ROLLBACK, ABORT, FAIL, IGNORE, and REPLACE.
+The default conflict resolution algorithm is ABORT. This
+is what they mean:</p>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><b>ROLLBACK</b></dt>
+<dd><p> When an applicable constraint violation occurs, the ROLLBACK
+resolution algorithm aborts the current SQL statement with
+an SQLITE_CONSTRAINT error and rolls back the current transaction.
+If no transaction is
+active (other than the implied transaction that is created on every
+command) then the ROLLBACK resolution algorithm works the same as the
+ABORT algorithm.</p></dd>
+
+<dt><b>ABORT</b></dt>
+<dd><p> When an applicable constraint violation occurs, the ABORT
+resolution algorithm aborts the current SQL statement
+with an SQLITE_CONSTRAINT error and backs out any changes
+made by the current SQL statement; but changes caused
+by prior SQL statements within the same transaction are preserved and the
+transaction remains active.
+This is the default behavior and the behavior specified by the SQL
+standard.</p></dd>
+
+<dt><b>FAIL</b></dt>
+<dd><p> When an applicable constraint violation occurs, the FAIL
+resolution algorithm aborts the current SQL statement with an
+SQLITE_CONSTRAINT error. But the FAIL resolution does not
+back out prior changes of the SQL statement that failed nor does
+it end the transaction.
+For example, if an UPDATE
+statement encountered a constraint violation on the 100th row that
+it attempts to update, then the first 99 row changes are preserved
+but changes to rows 100 and beyond never occur.</p>
+
+<p>The FAIL behavior only works for uniqueness, NOT NULL, and CHECK
+constraints. A <a href="foreignkeys.html">foreign key constraint</a> violation causes an ABORT.
+</p></dd>
+
+<dt><b>IGNORE</b></dt>
+<dd><p> When an applicable constraint violation occurs,
+the IGNORE resolution algorithm skips the one row that contains
+the constraint violation and continues processing subsequent rows
+of the SQL statement as if nothing went wrong.
+Other rows before and after the row that
+contained the constraint violation are inserted or updated
+normally. No error is returned for uniqueness, NOT NULL, and
+UNIQUE constraint errors when the IGNORE conflict resolution
+algorithm is used. However, the IGNORE conflict resolution
+algorithm works like ABORT for <a href="foreignkeys.html">foreign key constraint</a> errors.
+</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt><b>REPLACE</b></dt>
+<dd><p> When a <a href="lang_createtable.html#uniqueconst">UNIQUE</a> or <a href="lang_createtable.html#primkeyconst">PRIMARY KEY</a> constraint violation occurs,
+the REPLACE algorithm
+deletes pre-existing rows that are causing the constraint violation
+prior to inserting or updating the current row and the command continues
+executing normally.
+If a <a href="lang_createtable.html#notnullconst">NOT NULL</a> constraint violation occurs, the REPLACE conflict
+resolution replaces the NULL value with
+the default value for that column, or if the column has no default
+value, then the ABORT algorithm is used.
+If a <a href="lang_createtable.html#ckconst">CHECK constraint</a> or <a href="foreignkeys.html">foreign key constraint</a> violation occurs,
+the REPLACE conflict resolution algorithm works like ABORT.</p>
+
+<p>When the REPLACE conflict resolution strategy deletes rows in order to
+satisfy a constraint, <a href="lang_createtrigger.html">delete triggers</a> fire if and only if
+<a href="pragma.html#pragma_recursive_triggers">recursive triggers</a> are enabled.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="c3ref/update_hook.html">update hook</a> is not invoked for rows that
+are deleted by the REPLACE conflict resolution strategy. Nor does
+REPLACE increment the <a href="c3ref/changes.html">change counter</a>.
+The exceptional behaviors defined in this paragraph might change
+in a future release.</p>
+</dd></dl>
+
+<p>The algorithm specified in the OR clause of an INSERT or UPDATE
+overrides any algorithm specified in a CREATE TABLE.
+If no algorithm is specified anywhere, the ABORT algorithm is used.</p>
