sql - 检查行是否已经存在，如果这样，请告诉引用的表ID

假设我有一本桌子杂志：

CREATE TABLE magazine
(
  magazine_id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval(('public.magazine_magazine_id_seq'::text)::regclass),
  longname character varying(1000),
  shortname character varying(200),
  issn character varying(9),
  CONSTRAINT pk_magazine PRIMARY KEY (magazine_id)
);

还有另一个餐桌问题：

CREATE TABLE issue
(
  issue_id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval(('public.issue_issue_id_seq'::text)::regclass),
  number integer,
  year integer,
  volume integer,
  fk_magazine_id integer,
  CONSTRAINT pk_issue PRIMARY KEY (issue_id),
  CONSTRAINT fk_magazine_id FOREIGN KEY (fk_magazine_id)
      REFERENCES magazine (magazine_id) MATCH SIMPLE
      ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
);

当前插入：

INSERT INTO magazine (longname,shotname,issn)
VALUES ('a long name','ee','1111-2222');

INSERT INTO issue (fk_magazine_id,number,year,volume)
VALUES (currval('magazine_magazine_id_seq'),'8','1982','6');

现在，如果一个行不存在的话，应该只插入一个行。但是，如果存在，表“问题”需要获得已经存在的行的“杂志”ID，以便建立引用。
我该怎么做？
提前通知！

最佳答案

你怎么知道杂志是否已经在magazine表中？issn列是否定义了杂志？如果是，那么它应该是主键，或者至少是unique。
最简单的方法是检查你的客户端应用程序中的杂志的存在，像这样（在伪代码中）：

function insert_issue(longname, shotname, issn, number,year,volume) {
    /* extensive comments for newbies */
    start_transaction();
    q_get_magazine_id = prepare_query(
      'select magazine_id from magazine where issn=?'
    );
    magazine_id = execute_query(q_get_magazine_id, issn);
    /* if magazine_id is null now then there’s no magazine with this issn */
    /* and we have to add it */
    if ( magazine_id == NULL ) {
      q_insert_magazine = prepare_query(
        'insert into magazine (longname, shotname, issn)
          values (?,?,?) returning magazine_id'
      );
      magazine_id = execute_query(q_insert_magazine, longname, shortname, issn);
      /* we have tried to add a new magazine; */
      /* if we failed (magazine_id==NULL) then somebody else just added it */
      if ( magazine_id == NULL ) {
        /* other, parerelly connected client just inserted this magazine, */
        /* this is unlikely but possible */
        rollback();
        start_transaction();
        magazine_id = execute_query(q_get_magazine_id, issn);
      }
    }
    /* now magazine_id is an id of magazine, */
    /* added if it was not in a database before, new otherwise */
    q_insert_issue = prepare_query(
      'insert into issue (fk_magazine_id,number,year,volume)
         values (?,?,?,?)'
    );
    execute_query(q_insert_issue, magazine_id, number, year, volume);
    /* we have inserted a new issue referencing old, */
    /* or if it was needed new, magazine */
    if ( ! commit() ) {
      rollback();
      raise "Unable to insert an issue";
    }
}

如果您只需要在一个查询中执行此操作，那么您可以在数据库中将此伪代码实现为pl/pgsql函数，只需select insert_issue(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)。
