Check If Record Exists
Feb 1, 2007Hello,I created the following SQL script to check if a record exists:IF (EXISTS (SELECT LevelName FROM dbo.by27_Levels WHERE LOWER(@LevelName) = LOWER(LevelName))) Return (1)ELSE Return (0)And I also found in a web page another solution:IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM TABLENAME WHERE LevelName=@LevelName) SELECT 1ELSE SELECT 0- Which approach should I use?- Why "SELECT 1 FROM"?- And when should I use SELECT or RETURN?All I need is to know if the record exists ... nothing else.I will use this procedure on an ASP.NET 2.0 / C# web site.I am not sure if this important but anyway ...Thank You,Miguel

And if the only way to control this is to create a stored procedure. How do I write such a proc?

Check If Cursor Exists
May 11, 2004I declare a cusror named crInv inside a loop.
Since I open this cursor a lot of times I want to check if is already opened.
I try to use the Cursor_status function but it always returns -3.
The syntax is:
DECLARE crInv SCROL CURSOR FOR
SELECT Val1, Val2 FROM TABLE1 WHERE Val3=450
If Cursor_Status('local','crInv')>0 BEGIN
CLOSE crInv
DEALLOCATE crInv
END
This code is inside a loop.
If I PRINT Cursor_Status('local','crInv') before and after the DECLARE statement it always returns -3.
What is wrong??

@datasrc=N'"C:PROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT VISUAL FOXPRO 9Samplesdata estdata.dbc"'
After that i can open query and do the import issues, but how can check if the table exists before issues the query.
Best regards

Check If File Exists
Aug 21, 2006In SSIS, I need an easy way to see if a file exists, and if not wait for it until a timeout period expires. Here are the options I've discovered, along with the issues I've had:
a) The File Watcher task from www.sqlis.com
This was my first attempt. The task works great, BUT only detects when there is a change on the file. If the file already exists, it keeps waiting which is not the behavior I need.
b) The WMI Event Task
There is very sparce documentation on this event and how to write a WQL query. There are numerous examples of monitoring a folder and if any files appear, cause an event to happen. I need to detect for a specific file. I found maybe one example of this using "PartComponent" but wasn't able to get the sytax right to make it work for me. I also need to access a remote file share using a UNC path (e.g. \servernamepathfile.txt) which I could not get to work.
c) Script Task using the File.Exists() method
I imported the System.IO namespace, and used a File.Exists(\servernamepathfile.txt) with actual success, but am not sure of the best way to continue to wait if the file is not found immediately. I also want to modularize this approach so I can wait for several files simultaneously so was thinking of implementing this script task as a package by itself to accept variables (filepath & timeout period) but need to know if anyone has had success with this approach.
I'm open to suggestions or ways to get options a) and b) to work for my needs.
Thanks!

How To Check If A Single Value Exists In A Table
Sep 14, 2006What’s the easiest way to check if a single value exists in a table column? I’m building a simple login page, and I want to get the username and check if it exists in my Users table. Here’s my SQL: SELECT UserID FROM UsersWHERE UserID = "admin" Could someone give me code to check for “admin” in my UserID column? Here’s some code I tried, using my SqlDataSource, but it returns an error “Could not load type 'System.Data.OleDb'” protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Retreive the results from the SqlDataSource as a DataReader OleDbDataReader reader = (OleDbDataReader) SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty); // Read in the value if (reader.Read()) { } // Close the reader reader.Close(); } I don’t have to use the SqlDataSource, but originally thought it might be easier. I know how to use SqlDataSource to fill a whole GridView but this is different.

Dynamically Check If A Table Exists
Apr 10, 2008Hi there,
I want to create an SQL Function that checks if a table exists and returns true or false. I will pass this function a paramter (say @COMPANYID) e.g.
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[tblmyTableName_' + @COMPANYID) and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
how would I write this so the query is dynamically executed and I can get a value of true or false back?

Preferred Way To Perform An If Exists Check
Nov 26, 2007
What is the best way to check for an existing table in a db (i.e. check to be performed when creating a table)
I have came accross the following:
Code Block
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME='someTable')
and
Code Block
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id('[someUser].[someTable]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'IsUserTable') = 1)
Note I want to work with tables that can have any name (unicode chars accepted);
I realise that INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES is a view, and views are generally preffered, but why then does enterprise manager create the SQL found in the second example?
If anyone could explain what is best practice, it would be much appreciated,
Thanks

Check If Temporary Table Exists
Oct 5, 2006Hello.
How can I check if a temporary table exists in the current context?
With normal tables I'd do a
EXISTS ( SELECT name FROM sysobjects
WHERE name='myTableName' AND type='U')
However, I can't do that with a temporary table. I'd have to go look at the sysobjects table in the tempdb database.
The problem is that for temporary tables, a suffix is added to the name to make it unique for each scope. I can't change the WHERE clause to name LIKE 'myTableName%' because this would return true if a temporary table with the same name exists in a different scope.
Any ideas?

How To Check That Column Does Not Exists Before Adding It?
Jun 22, 2007How to check to make sure a column does not exist before adding it? Be nice to do this in t-sql code instead of using ado.net. It seems as if the IF NOT EXISTS is not supported in SqlCe 3.1? I am trying to do this but I get the token error:
IF NOT EXISTS (
select *
from Information_SCHEMA.columns
where Table_name='authors' and column_name='NewColumn'
)
select 'no'
Is there a list of all CE supported t-sql commands?
Thanks,

How To Check If A Temporary Table Exists?
Apr 29, 2008I apologize if this has been asked, and answered, before. I wasn't able to find relevant posts on the forum. A Google search pointed me to a couple of pages that offered this simple recipe:
if object_id('#temp') is not null
print 'table exists';
(I have also tried 'tempdb.#temp', and 'object_id(..,'U'))
Unfortunately, this doesn't work: the condition evaluates to 'false'. #temp is alive and well: strying to 'select .. into' it raises error
> There is already an object named '#temp' in the database.
Thanks a lot!

How To Check If Querystring Variable Exists In Database
Feb 18, 2006hi. i'm building a news section for some friends of mine. i list all the news items on the main page in a gridview. i've made a custom edit linkbutton that sends the user to an edit page, passing the news id as a quarystring variable. on the edit page i first check if the querystring variable contains an id at all. if not, i redirect the user to the main page. if an id is passed with the querystring, i fetch the matching news item from the database and place it in a formview control for editing.so far, so good. but what if someone types a random id in the querystring? then the formview won't show up and i'd look like a fool. :) therefore, i need some kind of check to see if the id exists in the database. if not redirect the user back to the main page... so i started thinking: i could check the databsae in a page_load procedure. if all is well, then display the news item. since the formview is automatically filled with the correct data, does that mean that i call the database two times? i mean, one for checking if the news item exists, and one for filling the formview. logically, this would be a waste of resources.help is appreciated.
