Insert else update option in which situation we will use..

Answer / mike

as per my knowledge
when we use update strategy transformation we will come
across to use this...insert else update...
let us suppose we have two tables a and b. a is the source
table and b is the target table...let us take b which is
target table contains some matched records with 'a' which
is source table. If source table 'a' is modified and
inserted with some records,here we need to update the
records in the target table...therefore by using the insert
else update option in the session properties of target we
can insert new records and update the existing records

correct me if i was wrong
