Add or Update stored procedure

Dec 2nd, 2008

The following stored procedure is supposed to add a new record to the database OR update Mdescript if it already exists. However I keep getting errors such as primary key violations. Please take a look, many thanks

Primary key violation usually means that U are trying to enter or insert a value that already exist in the primary key field, there is nothing wrong I see in the code, Primary keys have to be unique

Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.

Yes I know that, hence if it already exists it should do an update! Not a replace.

Well on that case you need to have an else statement

IF @rc IS NULL
   BEGIN
  --SET @rc = 0
    INSERT INTO Method VALUES (@Method, @Mdescript)
         SELECT @@IDENTITY
    END
    ELSE
       UPDATE YOUR RECORD
       SELECT @RC
IF @rc IS NULL
   BEGIN
  --SET @rc = 0
    INSERT INTO Method VALUES (@Method, @Mdescript)
         SELECT @@IDENTITY
    END
    ELSE
       UPDATE YOUR RECORD
       SELECT @RC

Hi thanks for that, but it turned out the whole of the code can be simplified using IF EXISTS, arghh this is so obvious when I think about it. Sorry about the newbie post everyone
