Ik suggereer eigenlijk niet dat je dit doet, aangezien de UNIQUE
index zoals voorgesteld door Piskvor
en anderen is een veel betere manier om het te doen, maar je kunt echt doen wat je probeerde:
CREATE TABLE `table_listnames` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`address` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`tele` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
Een record invoegen:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'Rupert', 'Somewhere', '022') AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name = 'Rupert'
) LIMIT 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
SELECT * FROM `table_listnames`;
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| id | name | address | tele |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Rupert | Somewhere | 022 |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
Probeer hetzelfde record opnieuw in te voegen:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'Rupert', 'Somewhere', '022') AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name = 'Rupert'
) LIMIT 1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| id | name | address | tele |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Rupert | Somewhere | 022 |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
Voeg een ander record in:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'John', 'Doe', '022') AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name = 'John'
) LIMIT 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
SELECT * FROM `table_listnames`;
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| id | name | address | tele |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Rupert | Somewhere | 022 |
| 2 | John | Doe | 022 |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
En zo verder...
Bijwerken:
Om #1060 - Duplicate column name
te voorkomen fout in het geval dat twee waarden gelijk kunnen zijn, moet u de kolommen van de binnenste SELECT een naam geven:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'Unknown' AS name, 'Unknown' AS address, '022' AS tele) AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name = 'Rupert'
) LIMIT 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
SELECT * FROM `table_listnames`;
+----+---------+-----------+------+
| id | name | address | tele |
+----+---------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Rupert | Somewhere | 022 |
| 2 | John | Doe | 022 |
| 3 | Unknown | Unknown | 022 |
+----+---------+-----------+------+
