Hi,

I think you cant use dbxquery for inserting rows in table. Because dbxquery use "executeQuery()" command whereas to manipulate data you actually need executeUpdate().

You can use dbxoutput command. Refer below doc:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.2/DeployDBX/Createandmanagedatabaseoutputs

Also did you try creating output directly?

p_gurav, please help me here.

This is my query:

insert into schema.table_name (id, web_id, flg_active)
select * from (select ? as id, 4 as web_id, 1 as flg_active) as tmp where not exists (

select 1 from table_name where id = ? and web_id = 4 and flg_active = 1 )
and exists ( select 1 from table_name where id = ? and flg_active = 1) limit 1;

How I input this on the DBOutput if it's need the run a search on step 2?
