I would have thought a php appliction would be able to this fairly
easily. My data entry scripts insert the new records with just a primary
key, then iterate through the various fields using an update sql for each
one which is not null.

This sort of approach coul easily be used to populate an on-screen table
using php, then update any changed fields as required.
