Does mySQL have a way to INSERT a new record if one doesn't exist (based
upon primary compound key)?

I see this "EXISTS" but not an example of how to use it with INSERT.

I see "INSERT... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE col_name=expr" which is very close,
but I want it to do nothing on duplicate key. :(

  `ReleaseID` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',  
  `Tested` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
