SQL查询在SQL Server Compact Edition中不起作用

Question

How to use insert into ... where ( .. ) in SQL Server ce?

This query:

insert into table(field) values(@val) 
where not exists (select field from table where field = @code);

returns

There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 40,Token in error = where ]

How I fix this? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You will have to do this the old-fashioned way: select the record in question from the database and, if it does not exist, perform the insert.

Here's a link to the relevant MSDN documentation.
