I have a table with just 2 columns, 1 for a character array and one an
integer index. I need to process a string such as to find out the index
for it in the table if it is already there or insert it and then find
out it's index which is auto generated otherwise. Is there a way to do
this in a single step?

Re: Inserting / Selecting / Getting the Index.

Call a custom function that does what you asking and that returns the appropriate index value.
