Dear All,
I wanted to know how do I know or check that whether a column exists in a table. What function or method should I use to find out that a column has already exists in a table.
When I run a T-SQL script which i have written does not work. Here is how I have written:
IF Object_ID('ColumnA') IS NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Table1] DROP COLUMN [ColumnA]
GO
I badly need some help.

Apologies if this has been answered before, but the "Search" function doesn't seem to be working on these forums the last couple of days.
I'd just like to check if a table already exists before dropping it so that I can avoid an error if it doesn't exist. Doing a web search, I've tried along the lines of
"If (object_id(sensor_stream) is not null) drop table sensor_stream"
and
"If exists (select * from sensor_stream) drop table sensor_stream"
In both of these cases I get the error: "There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 1,Token in error = if ]"
Sooooo... what is the standard way to check for existence of a table before dropping it? Someone help? This seems like it should be simple, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance!

This function, F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS, checks for the existence of a temp table (## name or # name), and returns a 1 if it exists, and returns a 0 if it doesn't exist.
The script creates the function and tests it. The expected test results are also included.
This was tested with SQL 2000 only.
if objectproperty(object_id('dbo.F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS'),'IsScalarFunction') = 1
begin drop function dbo.F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS end
go
create function dbo.F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS
( @temp_table_name sysname )
returns int
as
/*
Function: F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS
Checks for the existence of a temp table
(## name or # name), and returns a 1 if
it exists, and returns a 0 if it doesn't exist.
*/
begin
if exists (
select *
from
tempdb.dbo.sysobjects o
where
o.xtype in ('U')and
o.id = object_id( N'tempdb..'+@temp_table_name )
)
begin return 1 end
return 0
end
go
print 'Create temp tables for testing'
create table #temp (x int)
go
create table ##temp2 (x int)
go
print 'Test if temp tables exist'
select
[Table Exists] = dbo.F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS ( NM ),
[Table Name] = NM
from
(
select nm = '#temp' union all
select nm = '##temp2' union all
select nm = '##temp' union all
select nm = '#temp2'
) a
print 'Check if table #temp exists'
if dbo.F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS ( '#temp' ) = 1
print '#temp exists'
else
print '#temp does not exist'
print 'Check if table ##temp4 exists'
if dbo.F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS ( '##temp4' ) = 1
print '##temp4 exists'
else
print '##temp4 does not exist'
go
-- Drop temp tables used for testing,
-- after using function F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS
-- to check if they exist.
if dbo.F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS ( '#temp' ) = 1
begin
print 'drop table #temp'
drop table #temp
end
if dbo.F_TEMP_TABLE_EXISTS ( '##temp2' ) = 1
begin
print 'drop table ##temp2'
drop table ##temp2
end
Test Results:
Create temp tables for testing

I have a webpage where users can connect with other users by sending them a request. Sending the request just puts a row in a connect table that contains the users id, the targetusers id, a requesteddate, an accepted date and a disconnectdate (for the original requester to end the connection and a reject bit the the target can reject the request. Hoever I need to check to assure that the connect does nt already exist either as pending (requestdate is not null and accept date is null) or both dates are not null (connection already complete.).
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[requestConnect]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@requestor int,
@requested int
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from interfering with SELECT statements.

Hi all,
While cleaning up some code, I ran across the following statement in a stored proc - the purpose of which is to determine if a table exists in the local database: SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[XML_PRINTDATE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1of course I removed it from the IF just for testing purposes, but my quandry is this...
Why chose that select (converting table name to object ID) rather than just doing THIS:SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
I first thought it was to gain access to the "id" column value (and that may yet be the purpose of it), but the second code seems to work just peachy (I assume because the id column is present in the sysobjects table itself).
A follow-on question is this:
When I try to do the same check from another server (i.e.SELECT * FROM APRECEIVE1.DailyProd.dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) it of course fails because OBJECTPROPERTY only looks for the id on the local database.
So, do I CARE if it is a user table? (I am reasonably sure it is, of course) and if so, is there a way to check on the remote server for the object type?
Bottom line is I Think I can just simplify things and check for the object name on the remote server, but just don't want to take away any "warm fuzzy feeling" generated by the original stored proc, if such a warm fuzzy is of any benefit (though don't get me started on the relativity of warm fuzzies, I wrote my Thesis on that ;) )

we tried out the following code in query analyser -
create procedure TrialProc
as
select * from sakjdhf
when we executed this piece of TSQL in query analyser, we expected it to give an error or warning that no object by the name of sakjdhf exists ( as actually there is no such table or view in the database ). however to our surprise we got "command completed successfully " !!
does this mean the SQL server does not check for necessary objects when creating a stored procedure ? or is there some setting that we missed out whihch is causing SQL server to overlook the error in the code ?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to write a script to deploy environment variables to different servers. To create the variable I'm currently using catalog. create_environment_variable. I want to wrap that in an if not exist statement.I had thought about just blowing away all the variables and recreating them but I thought that wouldn't go over well in prod. I wasn't sure if by deleting the variable, references to the variable would be lost.

I have a data flow task inside a foreach loop container which will take multiple excel files and load into a sql table. Once all the excel files are loaded into the table, then at the end one of the column gets updated using execute sql task. Now I am trying to check for a file existence, if the file is not present in the folder then the data flow task should not be executed. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am thinking of using file system task for this, but not exactly sure. Thanks in advance.

I'm familiar with how to check for the existence of a table before dropping it using the following command:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[xxx]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[xxx]
How does one check for the existence of a temp table (using # syntax) before dropping it? I've tried various flavors of this command and none work. One flavor is
use tempdb
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[#xxx]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[#xxx]
CREATE TABLE #xxx (
NumID INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1),
Exhibitor_Id INTEGER NOT NULL,
Company_Id INTEGER NOT NULL
)
Thanks.

I'm wondering if there is some sql I can run to check properties on a table. This would be used to verify things like data types, allow nulls and default values have been set to avoid mistakes. This could be done manually one table and one column at a time, but it would be a lot easier to look at it in the results window.

Hey all,
I've been ehre off and on when I've needed help. And I know someone answered my question last time with the exact info I needed. But I seem to have lost the query I saved.
I pretty much need a query that can filter a field I have adn pull up any records that are not in in date format. My current field is text and I'm trying to convert it over to DateTime but am getting stuck. Seems at least one of the records does not have a date format.
Thank you all.

hi e'body:
I have some database tables, and each one of them have a creation_date and modified_date in them. I was trying to figure out a way where when a row in one of these tables is changed using Enterprise Manager (Database -> Tables -> select table -> right click -> select all rows -> change a field in a row inside a table), is there a way apart from triggers, such that the "modified_date" column for that row get changed to 'getdate()' (rather picks up the current datetime).

Obviously, I'm a complete n00b at SQL.
I have a table in Access 2003 with about 6,000 records and there are about 20 records that have duplicate data in the first field (CompID).
I'm trying to make the first field my primary key, so I need to fix these duplicate entry.
I could export to Excel and fix the problem that way, but in the interest of learning SQL I want to figure out how to do it properly.
Thanks in advance for what is hopefully a simple answer.

When the boolean field is equal to 1 for any of the records I would like to return an empty record set. What is the best way to do this?
I know I could use IF EXISTS but my query is so long that I would prefer not to repeat the query multiple times. Is there an alternative?

I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I have a repeater control, and a date field. If the field is a valid date, I'll use it to calculate and display the person's age. Otherwise, I want to display "N/A". My problem is trying to determine if the date field is null or not.I'm using SQL Server 2005 which allows Nulls in the date field, and for many records I don't have a birth date. It makes sense for these records to leave the date Null. This is my code:Protected Sub Repeater1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles Repeater1.ItemDataBound If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item OrElse e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then Dim LabelIcon As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("LabelIcon"), Label) Dim LblAge As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("LblAge"), Label) Dim inmate As WAP.prisonmembersRow = CType(CType(e.Item.DataItem, System.Data.DataRowView).Row, WAP.prisonmembersRow) If System.IO.File.Exists(Server.MapPath("~/images/picts/" & inmate.FILE2 & ".jpg")) Then LabelIcon.Visible = True End If If inmate.DATE_OF_BIRTH Is DBNull.Value Then If IsDate(inmate.DATE_OF_BIRTH) Then LblAge.Text = "Age: N/A" Else LblAge.Text = "Age: " & GetBirthdate(inmate.DATE_OF_BIRTH) End If End If End IfEnd Sub How can I resolve this?Diane
