Funny how you think the Oracle release has no bearing on the answer; it matters much. For any release older than 9.0.1 you're stuck using a PL/SQL block to provide insert/update capability. From 9.0.1 onwards (with 9.2.0 and later releases providing a more stable implementation) there is MERGE INTO. Not knowing WHICH release you're using prevents any further discussion on the matter.

Provide the full Oracle version you're using and more appropriate assistance can be given. Or, read the fantabulous manuals at http://tahiti.oracle.com. The time you took to post here and wait for a response would have been better used reading the documentation.
