I am trying to check the existing data in database before inserting the data.

But I don't know how to execute the two SQL statement in servlet program.

Because I am first using sql and servlet.

Please provide the solution or give me the idea for the how to check the aleardy existing data in database.

Answer 1

=> Make store procedure like below sample and then call using java code and get your result in output parameter.

CREATE PROCEDURE InsertName
(
   @username varchar(25), 
   @userpassword varchar(25)
) 
AS
  IF EXISTS(SELECT 'True' FROM MyTable WHERE username = @username)
  BEGIN
   --This means it exists, return it to ASP and tell us
     SELECT 'This record already exists!'
  END
  ELSE
  BEGIN
   --This means the record isn't in there already, let's go ahead and add it
     SELECT 'Record Added'
     INSERT into MyTable(username, userpassword) 
     VALUES(@username,@userpassword)
  END
