Hello

I'm looking for something like

if not exists( select 1 from PERSON where NAME = 'Test' ) then
   insert into PERSON ( NAME ) values ( 'Test');
end if;

I did it with Sybase Database.
I need to get Data from Excel and have to be shure that there is no data
more than once in the table.
So I have to generate a script with test, if this data is in teh table
yet, or not, before inserting.

Did You Understand? Sorry for my English

Greetings from Germany

Gerhard
