I am writing a stored procedure where i m using try catch block.

Now i have a unique column in a table. When i try to insert duplicate value it throws exception with exception no 2627.

I want this to be done like this

if (exists(select * from tblABC where col1='value')=true) raiseError(2627)--raise system error that would have thrown if i would have used insert query to insert duplicate value

And which method will be better, using insert query or checking for duplicate value before insertion using Select query ?
