| I am doing this in my SP:IF EXISTS(SELECT 'True' FROM MyTable WHERE username = @username) return 1else ..do an insertThe problem is when @username is something like "O'Brien", the query returns 2 although the name exists in the table. I do a Replace(username,"'","''") in my asp before I pass the username param to the SP. So what happens is I end up inserting O'Brien more than once when what I'm trying to do is avoid duplicate names in the table.How do I fix this so that my SP returns a 1 and not do an insert when O'Brien is passed to it? |

| Correction...when I run the SP with O'Brien, I end up inserting a duplicate record and not 2 as previously stated. |

| If you have the name in a parameter then you don't need to do the replace. That is only if you are using dynamic/embedded sql.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
