SQL SERVER Insertar múltiples registros sin duplicar los que ya existen en la tabla

Question

Buenas tardes, tengo que generar un script que pueda insertar más de 80 registros en una tabla, pero teniendo que validar que los que ya existan en la actual tabla, no los inserte e inserte solo los que no existen ahí.

La tabla tiene un id autoincrement, ese número no importa mucho porque la validación sería con un segundo campo llamado "co_code".

Saludos, espero que me puedan orientar.

Answer 1

Try this syntax:

insert into myTable (col1, col2, col3, etc., co_code)
select col1, col2, col3, etc., co_code from (values (1, 2, .., 5), (....), (....)) v(col1, col2, col3, .., co_code)
where not exists (select 1 from myTable t where t.co_code = v.co_code)

Hi，@Samuel Isai Paredes Morales

Welcome to Microsoft T-SQL Q&A Forum!

You can achieve it using merge into statement.

MERGE INTO [TableA] AS [target]  
using (SELECT distinct [Id] , [Selection1], [Selection2], [Selection3]  
       FROM   [TableB]  
    ) AS [source]  
ON [target].[ID] = [source].ID  
WHEN NOT matched THEN  
    INSERT ([Id], [Selection1], [Selection2], [Selection3])  
    VALUES ([Id], [Selection1], [Selection2], [Selection3]);
