I have a table for animals like

  • Lion
  • Tiger
  • Elephant
  • Jaguar
  • List item
  • Cheetah
  • Puma
  • Rhino

I want to insert new animals in this table and I am t reading the animal names from a CSV file.

Suppose I got following names in the file

Lion,Tiger,Jaguar

as these animals are already in "Animals" table, What should be a single SQL query that will determine if the animals are already exist in the table.
