Better would be
Insert into tablea(ida, value1a)
Select idb, value1b
from tableb
where idb not in(select ida from tablea);

Subject: [sqlite] CASE WHEN sample ?
Hi,
I am searching for a sample that uses the case when expression.
I like to insert values into a table when these values are not in that
table before.
My tries to read, understand and try the documentation of expressions
failed.
Executing this statemen twice creates two rows:
replace into anwendungen (name) values ('lbDMF Manager')
This is pseudo code:
if not exsists (select id from mytable where name = 'some name')
insert into mytable (name) values ('some name')
Is this possible ?
Thanks
Lothar
