> -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Benson [mailto:markbenson@xxxxxxx] > The following SQL statement returns an error. What is wrong with it? The error is stated as being near 'ON DUPLICATE KEY > UPDATE foo_no='$data[1]', alt_no='$data[2]', descript='$data[3]', pr' > > "INSERT INTO `foobar2` SET part_no='$data[0]', foo_no='$data[1]', alt_no='$data[2]', descript='$data[3]', price='$data[4]', > unit_sale='$data[5]', unit_issue='$data[6]', weight='$data[7]', brand='$data[8]', nla_tag='0' ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE > foo_no='$data[1]', alt_no='$data[2]', descript='$data[3]', price='$data[4]', unit_sale='$data[5]', unit_issue='$data[6]', weight='$data > [7]', brand='$data[8]', nla_tag='0'" You shouldn't specify your data to be inserted again after the 'ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE' statement. "INSERT INTO `foobar2` SET part_no='$data[0]', foo_no='$data[1]', alt_no='$data[2]', descript='$data[3]', price='$data[4]', unit_sale='$data[5]', unit_issue='$data[6]', weight='$data[7]', brand='$data[8]', nla_tag='0' ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE;" It's implicit that you use the same data regardless, you're saying "if it's already there, just do an update statement with the data already provided".
