在MySQL中，ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE或INSERT IGNORE可以是可行的解决方案。

一个基于mysql.com的ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE更新示例:

INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,3)
  ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE c=c+1;

UPDATE table SET c=c+1 WHERE a=1;

一个基于mysql.com的INSERT IGNORE示例

INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]
    [INTO] tbl_name [(col_name,...)]
    {VALUES | VALUE} ({expr | DEFAULT},...),(...),...
    [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
      col_name=expr
        [, col_name=expr] ... ]

Or:

INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]
    [INTO] tbl_name
    SET col_name={expr | DEFAULT}, ...
    [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
      col_name=expr
        [, col_name=expr] ... ]

Or:

INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]
    [INTO] tbl_name [(col_name,...)]
    SELECT ...
    [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
      col_name=expr
        [, col_name=expr] ... ]

试试下面的方法:

IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM beta WHERE name = 'John' > 0)
  UPDATE alfa SET c1=(SELECT id FROM beta WHERE name = 'John')
ELSE
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO beta (name) VALUES ('John')
  INSERT INTO alfa (c1) VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID())
END

REPLACE INTO `transcripts`
SET `ensembl_transcript_id` = 'ENSORGT00000000001',
`transcript_chrom_start` = 12345,
`transcript_chrom_end` = 12678;

如果该记录存在，它将被覆盖;如果它还不存在，将创建它。

下面是一个PHP函数，它只在表中不存在所有指定列的值时插入一行。

If one of the columns differ, the row will be added. If the table is empty, the row will be added. If a row exists where all the specified columns have the specified values, the row won't be added. function insert_unique($table, $vars) { if (count($vars)) { $table = mysql_real_escape_string($table); $vars = array_map('mysql_real_escape_string', $vars); $req = "INSERT INTO `$table` (`". join('`, `', array_keys($vars)) ."`) "; $req .= "SELECT '". join("', '", $vars) ."' FROM DUAL "; $req .= "WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM `$table` WHERE "; foreach ($vars AS $col => $val) $req .= "`$col`='$val' AND "; $req = substr($req, 0, -5) . ") LIMIT 1"; $res = mysql_query($req) OR die(); return mysql_insert_id(); } return False; }

使用示例:

<?php
  insert_unique('mytable', array(
    'mycolumn1' => 'myvalue1',
    'mycolumn2' => 'myvalue2',
    'mycolumn3' => 'myvalue3'
    )
  );
?>

INSERT INTO table_name (columns) VALUES (values) ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING;

解决方案:

INSERT INTO `table` (`value1`, `value2`) 
SELECT 'stuff for value1', 'stuff for value2' FROM DUAL 
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM `table` 
      WHERE `value1`='stuff for value1' AND `value2`='stuff for value2' LIMIT 1) 

解释:

最里面的查询

SELECT * FROM `table` 
      WHERE `value1`='stuff for value1' AND `value2`='stuff for value2' LIMIT 1

用作WHERE NOT exists -条件检测是否已经存在要插入数据的行。在找到这样的一行之后，查询可能会停止，因此LIMIT 1(微优化，可以省略)。

中间查询

SELECT 'stuff for value1', 'stuff for value2' FROM DUAL

表示要插入的值。DUAL指的是一个特殊的单行一列表，默认存在于所有Oracle数据库中(参见https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUAL_table)。在MySQL-Server 5.7.26版本中，当省略FROM DUAL时，我得到了一个有效的查询，但旧版本(如5.5.60)似乎需要FROM信息。通过使用WHERE NOT EXISTS，如果最里面的查询找到匹配的数据，中间查询将返回一个空结果集。

外部查询

INSERT INTO `table` (`value1`, `value2`) 

插入中间查询返回的数据(如果有)。
