MySql Table Insert if not exist otherwise update
Try using this:
If you specify
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
, and a row is inserted that would cause a duplicate value in aUNIQUE index or
PRIMARY KEY, MySQL performs an [
UPDATE`](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/update.html) of the old row...The
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
clause can contain multiple column assignments, separated by commas.With
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
, the affected-rows value per row is 1 if the row is inserted as a new row, 2 if an existing row is updated, and 0 if an existing row is set to its current values. If you specify theCLIENT_FOUND_ROWS
flag tomysql_real_connect()
when connecting to mysqld, the affected-rows value is 1 (not 0) if an existing row is set to its current values...
Jai is correct that you should use INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
.
Note that you do not need to include datenum in the update clause since it's the unique key, so it should not change. You do need to include all of the other columns from your table. You can use the VALUES()
function to make sure the proper values are used when updating the other columns.
Here is your update re-written using the proper INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
syntax for MySQL:
INSERT INTO AggregatedData (datenum,Timestamp)
VALUES ("734152.979166667","2010-01-14 23:30:00.000")
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
Timestamp=VALUES(Timestamp)
