Question

I\'m hoping to use the following update\\insert method to speed up my application insert\\updates:

UPDATE [Application_Type_Table] 
SET ApplicationType=\'Test Va

sqlCommand.CommandText = "IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM  [Application_Type_Table] WHERE "_
"ID='1') BEGIN INSERT INTO " _
"[Application_Type_Table] VALUES ('Test Value') END ELSE BEGIN UPDATE [Application_Type_Table]"_
"SET ApplicationType='Test Value'"_
"WHERE ID='1' END"
