+$this->db->replace()
+====================
+
+This method executes a REPLACE statement, which is basically the SQL
+standard for (optional) DELETE + INSERT, using *PRIMARY* and *UNIQUE*
+keys as the determining factor.
+In our case, it will save you from the need to implement complex
+logics with different combinations of ``select()``, ``update()``,
+``delete()`` and ``insert()`` calls.
+
+Example::
+
+ $data = array(
+ 'title' => 'My title',
+ 'name' => 'My Name',
+ 'date' => 'My date'
+ );
+
+ $this->db->replace('table', $data);
+
+ // Executes: REPLACE INTO mytable (title, name, date) VALUES ('My title', 'My name', 'My date')
+
+In the above example, if we assume that the *title* field is our primary
+key, then if a row containing 'My title' as the *title* value, that row
+will be deleted with our new row data replacing it.
+
+Usage of the ``set()`` method is also allowed and all fields are
+automatically escaped, just like with ``insert()``.
