SQL: If Exists Update Else Insert
This is a pretty common situation that comes up when performing database operations.  A stored procedure is called and the data needs to be updated if it already exists and inserted if it does not.  If we refer to the Books Online documentation, it gives examples that are similar to:

程式碼: [Select]
    INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES (...)

This approach does work, however it might not always be the best approach.  This will do a table/index scan for both the SELECT statement and the UPDATE statement.  In most standard approaches, the following statement will likely provide better performance.  It will only perform one table/index scan instead of the two that are performed in the previous approach.

程式碼: [Select]
    INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES (...)


Just remember, the examples in the MSDN documentation are usually the easiest way to implement something, not necessarily the best way.  Also (as I re-learned recently), with any database operation, it is good to performance test the different approaches that you take.  Sometimes the method that you think would be the worst might actually outperform the way that you think would be the better way.
