How to implement a conditional Upsert stored procedure?

Question

I\'m trying to implement your basic UPSERT functionality, but with a twist: sometimes I don\'t want to actually update an existing row.

Essentially I\'m trying to synchr

Answer 1

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_UpsertItem] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @pContentID varchar(30) = null, @pTitle varchar(255) = null, @pTeaser varchar(255) = null AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON;

BEGIN TRANSACTION
    IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.Item WHERE ContentID = @pContentID
             AND RowLocked = false)
       UPDATE dbo.Item 
       SET Title = @pTitle, Teaser = @pTeaser
       WHERE ContentID = @pContentID
             AND RowLocked = false
    ELSE IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.Item WHERE ContentID = @pContentID)
            INSERT INTO dbo.Item (ContentID, Title, Teaser)
            VALUES (@pContentID, @pTitle, @pTeaser)

COMMIT TRANSACTION

END
