update the SQL Table

Hello,

I have a form in coldfusion when I filled the form, it will add the entry to the database. I would like to change it that it will replace my entry in the database.

for example:

user_id ID_number firstname lastname contactme
11 ABC Jim Loyal NO
11 ABC Jim Loyal YES

So my first entry was no then yes... So i would like to have only one entry for Jim. How I can change the insert script below...

It sounds like you should have an add/edit form instead. Then present the user with a link to "ADD" a new user OR select an existing user from a list, and "EDIT" that record.

- If "ADD", display an empty form. When submitted, INSERT a new record.
- If "EDIT user" link, populate the form with the existing info from the db. When submitted, UPDATE the existing record based on the unique ID. Something like

<cfquery ....>
    UPDATE   volunteers 
    SET          firstname = <cfqueryparam value = "#form.firstname#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_VARCHAR" />
                ,  lastname = <cfqueryparam value = "#form.lastname#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /> 
                , ... other columns 
                ,  PermissionProfileSpecify = <cfqueryparam value = "#form.PermissionProfileSpecify#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" />

    WHERE  ThePrimaryKeyCol = <cfqueryparam value = "#form.thePrimaryKeyValue#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_INTEGER" />

</cfquery>

Is that what you're trying to do? (BTW - What's your database type: MS SQL 2005, mySQL5, ....?)

Hello Agx,

It's a SQL Database Table. The form is working fine and the data is being insert. The only problem is if I filled the form again an new entry will be inserted.

I don't know the new entry to be insert it as a second entry. I would like to update the existant entry.

So if there is any entry for this user_id update if not insert.

how I can change that script below.

So on this confirmation, I have only this code where all the information are being transmited via a online form and it's process.

<cfquery name="logAnnualDues" datasource="#application.datasource#" username="#application.username#" password="#application.password#">
			INSERT INTO volunteers (user_id, id_number, firstname, lastname, NewProfileUpdated, contactme, ContactMeSpecify, CMTEE_PREF_NEW, ISSUES, PRACTICE_AREA_SPEC, YEARS_EXP, otherActVolWork, otherActVolWorkSpecify, otherNonActVolWork, otherNonActVolWorkSpecify, SPEC_INT, SPEC_SKILLS_NEW, ContactedYou, ContactedYouSpecify, PermissionProfile, PermissionProfileSpecify) 
                VALUES (
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.user_id#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_INTEGER" />, 
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.id_number#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" />, 
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.firstname#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /> , 
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.lastname#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /> ,

Hello Agx,

You are the best, thank you, I did the first part of the script and it's working the only thing i'm missing is the update code here.

record found. run UPDATE code here

How can you switch this script from insert to update.

<cfquery name="findRecord" datasource="#application.datasource#" username="#application.username#" password="#application.password#">
                     SELECT  user_id

           </cfquery>
