Hi!

I do have a weird problem to solve. I wanna check if a specific record already exists in a table (select * from table where PrimaryKey = 1234). If it does, I wanna do an update on that record and if it doesn't, I wanna insert a record.

What would be the best (and least expensive) way to achieve this in a procedure?

Thanks,
Helmut
