Logic for this operation

Question

I have a table in my database say Tab1 ( col1 col2) entries are ( corresponding entries) Col1 col2 a - sep1 b - sep2 c - sep3 d - sep4 e - sep5 now if i upload new entries like Col1 col2 a - sep3 b - sep2 so if this new entries does not exits then it simply INSERT these new entries else update it. I want C# logic for it I tried this but its not working if ( isWellIdExists ( impexp . WellId ) && isUploadedDateExists ( impexp . UploadedDate )) { int result = ExecuteQuery ( UpdateImpExp); } else { int result = ExecuteQuery ( InsertImpExpData SerialIDParameter  WellIdParameter ); }

Hi Record is exists in DB or not it depending on your primary (unique record)key. so I guess here col1 and col2 are required to pickup unique record.... are you using entity frame work? if (isWellIdExists(col1col2)) { //update } else { //insert } public bool isWellIdExists( string col1 string col2) { using(var context = new yourentitiobject()) { return context.Tab1.Any(p=> p.Col1==col1 && p.Col2 == col2); } } hope this will help you.

Hey Abhishek first try to get all the distinct pairs you have in the database var query = _context.yourtable.Select( p =>String.Concat(p.col1 + p.col2)).Distinct().ToList(); var yournewentries = String.Concat(p.col1 + p.col2).ToList(); var notindatabase = yournewentries.Except(query); var in database =yournewentries.Intersect(query); now you got the two things existed ones and notextsted ones

Try something like this in DB - CREATE PROCEDURE sp1 @Col1 nvarchar(50)@Col2 nvarchar(50) AS BEGIN IF EXISTS(SELECT ID FROM Table1 WHERE Col1=@col1 AND Col2=@Col2) BEGIN UPDATE Table1 SET Col1=@Col1 AND Col2=@Col2 END ELSE BEGIN INSERT Table1(Col1Col2) VALUEs(@Col1@Col2) END END

I'd do this server side (in the database). Pass through new entries query to see if it exists or not and they do an IF statement in the SQL to decide if you insert or update.
