Question

I have this request

INSERT INTO SERVICEPAYANT_CLIENT (RE_ID, TYPE_DONNEES)
SELECT CLIENT_ID, 160 AS TYPE_DONNEES
FROM    REFERENTIEL r, CLIENT_APPLICATIF ca
WHERE r.ID = ca.ID_REFERENTIEL
AND r.TYPE=1
GROUP BY CLIENT_ID
HAVING COUNT(*)>0;

When I execute it several times I inserted my data several times but I would like my request I inserted my data once only. I would like to insert my data if they are not present in my table.

You can do:

INSERT INTO SERVICEPAYANT_CLIENT (RE_ID, TYPE_DONNEES)
SELECT CLIENT_ID, 160 AS TYPE_DONNEES
FROM    REFERENTIEL r, CLIENT_APPLICATIF ca
WHERE r.ID = ca.ID_REFERENTIEL
AND r.TYPE=1
AND NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT * FROM SERVICEPAYANT_CLIENT sp
    WHERE sp.RE_ID = CLIENT_ID AND TYPE_DONNEES = 160)
GROUP BY CLIENT_ID
HAVING COUNT(*)>0;

The “AND NOT EXISTS…” is what restricts it to returning rows that are not already in your target table.
