@Damone
do it all in SQL
ie
IF EXIST(Select id from table_x where id=@id)
BEGIN
UPDATE table_x set col1=@col1 where id=@id
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO into table_x (id,col1) values(@id,@col1)
END

@jcornelius: Could we have used a router snap instead, putting 2 different conditions and inserting/updating depending on the output of the condition in router snap?

It would depend on if you have the data. I was assuming all the data was in SQL, so you would not want to make 2 trips to the DB, 1 to find out if the table existed and then 1 to write the data, when it all is easily done in 1 SQL statement…now if we are using different DB’s them surely you could read DB 1 then route the commands to DB 2.
