Right, well, this is the issue I raised with having accessions,  
having the ability to pin-point just which existing record you mean  
or defining when to create a new record.  As it is, my import code  
looks at the entire record you're supplying and checks the table in  
question for a record matching it entirely;  if one doesn't exist, a  
new record is created.  So you would just need to make sure that the  
germplasm record in your input file matches field-by-field the data  
currently in the db.
