I'm doing a multiple insert in SQL Server using UNION ALL between the inserts. In the last part of the query I have a WHERE clause. Now it seems that that the WHERE clause is executed before every statement, but I only want the WHERE to be executed one tim开发者_StackOverflow社区e. If the WHERE clause has a result then none of the inserts should be executed.
For illustration, insert some persons into a table, if any records exists with one of the defined ages none of the inserts should be executed.
INSERT INTO mytable
select 1, 33,john UNION ALL
select 2, 28,james UNION ALL
select 3, 20,Harry UNION ALL
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM mytable where age in(22,28,30))
How should I do this?
Try this instead:
INSERT INTO mytable
(id, age, name)
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT 1 AS id, 33 AS age, 'john' AS name
UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 28, 'james'
UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 20, 'Harry'
) T1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM mytable WHERE age IN (22, 28, 30))
