Question

I need to update a record in a database with the following fields

[ID] int (AutoIncr. PK) [ScorerID] int [Score] int [DateCreated] smalldatetime 

If a record exists for todays date (only the date portion should be checked, not the time) and a given scorer, I’d like to update the score value for this guy and this day. If the scorer doesn’t have a record for today, I’d like to create a new one.

I’m getting grey hair trying to figure how to put this into a single (is this possible?) sql statement. By the way I’m using an MSSQl database and the ExecuteNonQuery() method to issue the query.

Answer 1

IF EXISTS (SELECT NULL FROM MyTable WHERE ScorerID = @Blah AND CONVERT(VARCHAR, DateCreated, 101) = CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(), 101))     UPDATE MyTable SET blah blah blah ELSE     INSERT INTO MyTable blah blah blah
