One might think of adding a `replace doc.xml with path/to/new/doc.xml` command to make the database behave as desired. Feedback/Thoughts on this issue are welcome.

What I would prefer is a command that either adds (if non-existing) OR replaces (if pre-existing) a document. Sort of:

«Honey, I don't care if you already have doc.xml, but - as of now - please take this one»

It's kind of the same problem as it was with SQL... Neither INSERT nor UPDATE, but MERGE ;)

Yes, that variant sounds very useful - we will talk this over and I will inform you once we agreed on how to continue here. Thanks again for your input!
