Hello,

Is there a SQL equivalent of the VB code 'EXIT SUB' ?

Basically I want to check if a row exists in a certain table, and if it doesn't then insert it, but if it does, exit the stored procedure.

Thanks,

or use IF statement

If not exists(select * from table where...)
Begin
---your code to insert
End

Just run with me on this...

...would it not be more efficient to swap the NOT EXISTS for an EXISTS and ELSE statement?
