您可以使用MERGE语句，此语句用于插入不存在的数据或更新存在的数据。

MERGE INTO Employee AS e
using EmployeeUpdate AS eu
ON e.EmployeeID = eu.EmployeeID`

不要忘记事务。性能很好，但是简单的方法(IF EXISTS..)非常危险。 当多个线程将尝试执行插入或更新时，您可以轻松地 获取主键冲突。

由@Beau Crawford和@Esteban提供的解决方案显示了大致的想法，但容易出错。

为了避免死锁和PK违规，你可以使用如下方法:

begin tran
if exists (select * from table with (updlock,serializable) where key = @key)
begin
   update table set ...
   where key = @key
end
else
begin
   insert into table (key, ...)
   values (@key, ...)
end
commit tran

or

begin tran
   update table with (serializable) set ...
   where key = @key

   if @@rowcount = 0
   begin
      insert into table (key, ...) values (@key,..)
   end
commit tran

做一个UPSERT:

UPDATE MyTable SET FieldA=@FieldA WHERE Key=@Key

IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
   INSERT INTO MyTable (FieldA) VALUES (@FieldA)

做一个if存在…其他的……至少要做两个请求(一个检查，一个采取行动)。下面的方法在记录存在时只需要一个，如果需要插入则需要两个:

DECLARE @RowExists bit
SET @RowExists = 0
UPDATE MyTable SET DataField1 = 'xxx', @RowExists = 1 WHERE Key = 123
IF @RowExists = 0
  INSERT INTO MyTable (Key, DataField1) VALUES (123, 'xxx')

/*
CREATE TABLE ApplicationsDesSocietes (
   id                   INT IDENTITY(0,1)    NOT NULL,
   applicationId        INT                  NOT NULL,
   societeId            INT                  NOT NULL,
   suppression          BIT                  NULL,

)
GO
--*/

DECLARE @applicationId INT = 81, @societeId INT = 43, @suppression BIT = 0

MERGE dbo.ApplicationsDesSocietes WITH (HOLDLOCK) AS target
--set the SOURCE table one row
USING (VALUES (@applicationId, @societeId, @suppression))
    AS source (applicationId, societeId, suppression)
    --here goes the ON join condition
    ON target.applicationId = source.applicationId and target.societeId = source.societeId
WHEN MATCHED THEN
    UPDATE
    --place your list of SET here
    SET target.suppression = source.suppression
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
    --insert a new line with the SOURCE table one row
    INSERT (applicationId, societeId, suppression)
    VALUES (source.applicationId, source.societeId, source.suppression);
GO

用您需要的任何东西替换表和字段名。 注意使用状态。 然后在DECLARE行中为变量设置适当的值(和类型)。

欢呼。

如果你想一次UPSERT多个记录，你可以使用ANSI SQL:2003 DML语句MERGE。

MERGE INTO table_name WITH (HOLDLOCK) USING table_name ON (condition)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET column1 = value1 [, column2 = value2 ...]
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (column1 [, column2 ...]) VALUES (value1 [, value2 ...])
