Silently ignore duplicate index inserts... insert IGNORE into PERSON ( NAME ) values ( 'Test')
Ed -----Original Message----- From: Gerhard Gaupp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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?
