| if exists (select * frmo sysobjects where name = 'mytable' and xtype = 'U')if object_id('mytable') is not nullif exists (select * from information_schema where table_name = 'mytable')You should never have to do this other than when releasing some updates.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
