Hi all,

I am importing some data from a CSV File and then inserting the same into a Table.

Now While inserting I want the program to Stop when the record already exists in the same table. 

Please Provide me some sample code ..

    You can write a select statement based on primarykey of your table.

    Suppose your Table has PrimaaryKeyABC with one field inside that key you can write something as under

    Select firstonly tableNameBuffer

                                    Where tableNameBuffer.FielldNameofPk == _SomeValue;

    If(!tableNameBuffer) //if does not exists !

                    {

                                    //insert

          }

     

     

    Similarly if your Table has a composite primary key, write statement accordingly.

    Select firstonly tableNameBuffer

                                    Where tableNameBuffer.Fielld_1_NameofPk == _SomeValue

                                                    && tableNameBuffer. Fielld_2_NameofPk == _someOtherValue;

                    If(!tableNameBuffer) //if does not exists !

                    {

                                    //insert

    }
