Обсуждение: Insert only if not found
Hello everyone..
Here is the result of my Insert. and also the insert works ok.
INSERT INTO MOD48_02 (ID, TE_INDI, TE_COGNOME, TE_NOME, TE_SESSO, TE_ATTNASC, TE_LUONASC, TE_DTNASC, TE_PROVSTATO, TE_PROV, TE_PATERNITA, TE_RICHIESTA, USERNAME, DATE_INSERTED, TIME_INSERTED) VALUES ('127001200745101033', 'england', 'bloom', 'orlando', 'M', 'ww', 'florida', '05/06/1984', 'america', 'UK', 'xx', 'no', 'demo', '05/04/2007', '10.10.33');
But before i insert this record i want to check if the it hasn't been inserted before. I want to use the following fields as the riefferent. TE_COGNOME, TE_NOME, TE_SESSO, TE_DTNASC
And if there is no record to match those 4 fields i want to insert it else just a message saying that the record has been inserted b4.
any idea to start with?

Yes, read this:

I think, you can change this for your request.
(but without the message, if you really need this message, you should use
a function and RAISE a NOTICE as the message)

I think i spoke to soon. It works. But if i change a letter from capital to
simple it inserts my record 2 times. So i have 2 records for "Shavonne" and
"shavonne". So i thought i would do the select in uppercase.
INSERT INTO MOD48_02 (ID, TE_INDI, TE_COGNOME, TE_NOME, TE_SESSO,
TE_ATTNASC, TE_LUONASC, TE_DTNASC, TE_PROVSTATO, TE_PROV, TE_PATERNITA,
TE_RICHIESTA, USERNAME, DATE_INSERTED, TIME_INSERTED) SELECT
'127001200745114035', '', 'chan', 'micia', 'F', '', '', '01/05/2006', '',
'', '', '', 'demo', '05/04/2007', '11.40.35' WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT
upper(TE_COGNOME), upper(TE_NOME), upper(TE_SESSO), TE_DTNASC FROM MOD48_02
WHERE TE_COGNOME='CHAN' AND TE_NOME='MICIA' AND TE_SESSO='F' AND
TE_DTNASC='01/05/2006');
but this doesn't work. I don't know why. If i try only the part
SELECT upper(TE_COGNOME), upper(TE_NOME), upper(TE_SESSO), TE_DTNASC FROM
MOD48_02
it returns me the fields in UPPERCASE. It's really strange why it doens't
work all together.
Anyone?

You have an error ;-)
Compare the strings in ther WHERE-clause. An example:
test=# create table no_dupes (id int, name text);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# commit;
COMMIT
test=# insert into no_dupes select 1, 'Andreas' where not exists (select id, lower(name) from no_dupes where id=1 and
lower(name)=lower('Andreas'));
INSERT 0 1
test=*# insert into no_dupes select 1, 'Andreas' where not exists (select id, lower(name) from no_dupes where id=1 and
lower(name)=lower('Andreas'));
INSERT 0 0
test=*# select * from no_dupes ;id | name
----+--------- 1 | Andreas
(1 row)
test=*# insert into no_dupes select 1, 'Andreas' where not exists (select id, name from no_dupes where id=1 and
lower(name)=lower('Andreas'));
INSERT 0 0
test=*# select * from no_dupes ;id | name
----+--------- 1 | Andreas
(1 row)
test=*#
Andreas

It's also desirable that you use TRIM along with UPPER or LOWER. Roger. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons. See all the new 2007 cars at Yahoo! Autos. http://autos.yahoo.com/new_cars.html
Yea i got it. I did the uppercase before i came to the select and it works
well. *Fingers crossed*
Thanks for all the help.
Ohh and Happy Eater to everyone in the mailing list ^____^
