given a simply table table like this:
create table MyTabl
(id serial,lname varchar,primary key (id)
)
I am trying to return the Primary-Key for a given
row regardless of the wanted row already being
in the table.
using something like:
select coalesce
( (select id from MyTabl where lname='wanted'), (insert into MyTabl (lname) values ('wanted') returning id)
) as id;
the above doesn't allow the insert..returning even thow
a similar select statement would be okay.
Is there a way to get the ID row OR create a new one in
ONE single statement?
my best regards and thank-you
for your time....
Stefan
