| What version of SQL server are you using?If 2008+ then I'd suggest you use a merge statement. Other wise you can "upsert" (combination of update and insert).here is a link that may help:http://www.sergeyv.com/blog/archive/2010/09/10/sql-server-upsert-equivalent.aspxEDIT: Too early in the morning, I thought I was still in the "New to SQL Server" forum. So, yeah, I'd suggest a Merge statement. :) |
