Comments on: SQL – IF Exists Update Else Insert http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sql-if-exists-update-else-insert/ Thu, 23 May 2013 01:41:43 +0000 hourly 1 By: wolfman24 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sql-if-exists-update-else-insert/#comment-36057 wolfman24 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:38:16 +0000 #comment-36057 Thank you, SheldonLinker! Your suggestions helped clear things up for me. I was not sure how to structure the UPDATE statement as I’d seen a couple different ways on various sites. It looks like I was definitely not going about this the best way. I’ll apply these suggestions tomorrow.

Again, thanks for your help.

UPDATE table
SET field1=value1,
field2=value2,
…
fieldN=valueN
WHERE keyField=keyValue
