Can any of the SQL gurus out there suggest the magic incantation's) that
will achieve the following.

Tables A and B have a number of common columns.

If the keys in A and B match, update columns in A with the values from B.

If there is a row in B that does not exist in A, then insert a new row based
on B.

It is late on Sunday (actually early Monday) and my brain has seized.
