SQL Server INSERT INTO with WHERE clause


I think you are trying to do an update statement (set amount = 12.33 for customer with ID = 145300)

UPDATE PaymentsSET Amount = 12.33WHERE CustomerID = '145300'

Else if you are trying to insert a new row then you have to use

IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM Payments WHERE CustomerID = '145300')    INSERT INTO Payments(CustomerID,Amount)    VALUES('145300',12.33)

Or if you want to combine both command (if customer exists do update else insert new row)

IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM Payments WHERE CustomerID = '145300')    INSERT INTO Payments(CustomerID,Amount)    VALUES('145300',12.33)ELSE    UPDATE Payments    SET Amount = 12.33    WHERE CustomerID = '145300'


If you want to insert new rows with the given CustomerID

INSERT    INTO        Payments(Amount,CustomerID )VALUES(12.33,'145300');

else if you already have payment for the customer you can do:

UPDATE        PaymentsSET Amount = 12.33WHERE    CustomerID = '145300';


It sounds like having the customerID already set. In that case you should use an update statement to update a row. Insert statements will add a completely new row which can not contain a value.
