How do I find out if a temporary table named '##test' exists? I have a stored
procedure that creates this table and if it exists another stored procedure
should do one thing, if it does not exist I want the SP to do something else.
Any help as to how I can determine if this table exists at the current time
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for you help,
Jon
Is there a way to determine if a local variable exists or not?
There's a parameter I often use in code called @guid_batch that is usually declared in the parameter of a stored proc, but when in debugging it would be nice to have it available without having to change code.
Is there something that I could do similar to the following
Code:
IF VARIABLE_ID('@guid_batch') IS NULL
BEGIN
DECLARE @guid_batch UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
SELECT @guid_batch = NEWID()
END
Thanks in advance,

Hello,I'm working with a number of databases. I need a way to determine if aforeign key with given name exists and determine what tables andfields are linked to it. Any ideas?I know I can issue the following statement to get a list of the fieldsthat are constrained by a foreign key constraint.SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGEHow can I get a list of fields pointed to by the constraints?Thanks,WillJoin Bytes!

This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).
I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:
if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1)
begin
select @errno = @errno | 1
end
There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.
The execution plan shows this for this statement:
FROM TABLE
dbo.t1
EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration.
Table Scan.
Forward scan.
Positioning at start of table.
It's not using my index!!!!!
It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?
I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.
If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?
I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.
SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01)
WHERE f1 = @p1
)
SET ROWCOUNT 0
Appreciate your help.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but hopefully someone can help me. I would like to determine what the last automatically incremented ID is in a table I need to return it as a variable to a VB.NET program but I'm not sure what the SELECT statement would look like for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all ...
I'm looking at writing some customized insert, update and delete stored procs for a replication target. For various reasons I would like to write a "one size fits all" custom stored proc for each of these tasks.
It looks like I can get the data values passed as parameters just fine.
I was wondering if there's a way to also pass the source schema and table name as parameters, or to determine these on the fly in my all purpose stored procs. Some replication products refer to these types of values as "tokens" that can be included in the replication data stream sent to the target.
I can adjust the source database replication publications, and article definitions, but I cannot modify the actual source database tables to include these as values in data columns. It is possible a view that contains these elements as strings might fly, but I was hoping to avoid cluttering the source database.
A handy trick or technique would be helpful!
Thanks!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to find out if a Transaction ID exists in Table A that does not exist in Table B. If that is the case, then I need to insert into Table B all of the Transaction IDs and Descriptions that are not already in. Seems to me this would involve If Not Exists and then an insert into Table B. This would work easily if there were only one row. What is the best way to handle it if there are a bunch of rows? Should there be some type of looping?

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to programmatically determine if a temp table exists? In 6.5, I would use
IF EXISTS(SELECT * from tempdb..sysobjects where id = object_id('tempdb..#MyTable') and type = 'U')
But now that it is strongly discouraged to code against system tables, how could I re-write this statement?
The proper way to check the existence of a table would be:
IF OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id('tablename'), 'IsTable') = 1
However, to get this to run for a temp table, I think you'd have to change the database context to tempdb and then back to your database. That doesn't seem efficient.
I could use
IF object_id('tempdb..#MyTable') IS NOT NULL
But that's not guarenteeing that it's a table, right?
Any ideas?

Hi,
This my first time using the link server to read the files directly from within SQL2005, so issues the following link:-
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'MYVFPSERVER', -- Your linked server name here
@srvproduct=N'Visual FoxPro 9', -- can be anything
@provider=N'VFPOLEDB',
@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

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.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've got two tables, one containing a list of company names(approx 10,000 records), the other containing a list of company employees (approx 30,000 records) joined by the CompanyID column.
I have a third table (approx 700 records) containing new employees to be added to the employee table. Each record in this table has the employees details plus the name of their company.
I want to write a query that will check each row in the third table to see if
a) the employee exists in the Employees table
b) the company exists in the Companies table and
c) the employee is listed under the correct company
The query should also handle any combination of the above. So if the company doesn't exist but the employee does, create the company on the companies table and update the appropriate record on the employees table with the new CompanyID etc. etc.
Oh, forgot to mention. The company names in the third table won't be exactly the same as the ones in the Company table so will need to use CharIndex.
Anybody got any ideas?

Hi,
How can I verify if a temporary table called #X, for example, exists in database?
Thanks.
So I declared this table data type , cool.. It works
CREATE TYPE BP_Data_XXX
as table
(
XXX_VALUE_NUMERIC numeric(19,2),
bp_type VARCHAR(4),
Dt datetime,
ID int IDENTITY(1,1),
MBP numeric(19,2),
CONCEPT_ID VARCHAR(10)
)
Now my question is later how do we check whether this type exists. The following does not work.
if( object_id('BP_Data_XXX') IS NOT NULL )
print 'IT is there '
Hi 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?

View 10 Replies View RelatedHelloI am using a temp table called ##temp in an SProc but often get themessage that the table already exists. Could this be because the SProcis being run by more than 2 webpages at the same time?Or is it because the sProc has an error and is not getting to the droptable line?I have tried adding a line to test if the object exists and to drop thetable before I create it. If I drop it will it affect another instanceof the sProc that is using the same table name?If so is there a way around this?Many thanksNigel
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,Using Enterprise Manager, I deleted from my database the only tablethat contained records (Right-Click on Table, Choose "Delete Table").My expectation was that the LARGE .mdf file would be reduced to minimalsize (at least as small as the Northwind MDF). However, it's still 4+Gig in size!! (Northwind is 2.62 MB). This is a problem, bc I deletedthe table in order to recapture hard drive space.NOTE: I already tried using Shrink Database in EM. This significantlyreduced the size of the .mdf file from its original (i.e. pre-delete)size of 38 Gig to present size of 4 Gig.What can I do to further reduce the size of the MDF file?Thank you.

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?
