I'm trying to check for the existence of a table, and if it does, drop it.
I did a search and came up with some code like this:

<sql>
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sys.tables WHERE name = 'dbo.MyTable')
PRINT 'TableName available.'
ELSE
PRINT 'TableName not available.'
</sql>

This returns the message  "Invalid object name: sys.tables

So then I reverted to the older syntax:

<sql>
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM IDS.dbo.sysobjects WHERE ID =
OBJECT_ID(N'[IDS]..[dbo.MyTable'))
       PRINT 'MyTable exists'
ELSE
       PRINT 'MyTable does not exist'
</sql>

This syntax works but the result is "dbo._Tble_852Import does not exist".
Unfortunately, the table does exist. I'm in the right database when running
the query, so that's not the problem

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
TIA,

Maybe you could work around the problem by trying to open it with DAO and
trap the error if it doesn't exist?

Wouldn't it just be easier to run a Delete preceded by an On Error?

The name column of sys.tables doesn't include the schema name, i.e. just

Sorry, I should have pointed out that this is T-SQL code not Access or
other.

I don't seem to have the table called sys.tables; hence my reversion to the
older syntax.

Arthur,

Is this a temp table?

If so, it is not in your database, it is in the tempdb.

Another suggestion is to take of the 1 in SELECT 1.
A second one is to use sys.All_Objects and filter for the table 
objects and the table name.
See below:

SELECT     name, type, type_desc
FROM         sys.all_objects
WHERE     (type_desc = N'USER_TABLE') AND (name = N'AssetUser')

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Get a count inside of a stored procedure
Message-ID: <501089F1.307@colbyconsulting.com>

In a stored procedure I need to get a count of the records in a table where the table name is passed 
in to the SP.

I tried:

DECLARE @RecordCnt int

	SELECT @RecordCnt = Count([Column 0]) FROM @TblName

Where @TblName is the passed in table name.

This fails telling me that I have to declare a table variable @TblName

Is there a simple way to do what I am trying to do?

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] What gives with Null (or the lack thereof)
Message-ID: <50114BF9.6030805@colbyconsulting.com>

I have two queries:

SELECT [EM_Email]
       ,[EM_EmailDomain]
   FROM [_DataEmail].[dbo].[tblEmail_Live]
   WHERE EM_EmailDomain is null
GO

Returns nothing.

SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT COUNT(PK) AS Cnt, EM_EmailDomain
FROM         dbo.tblEmail_Live
GROUP BY EM_EmailDomain
ORDER BY Cnt DESC

returns null as the top most common EM_EmailDomain

Same table, same field, one query says I have lots of null values by count, the other query refuses 
to show them to me.

I'm confused.

Never mind.  I had a string value 'null' in there which is (of course) not NULL.

Sigh.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] There are uncommitted transactions
Message-ID: <50127A44.2090608@colbyconsulting.com>

SQL Server appears to be hanging for a batch job.  I am wrapping a group of processes in a 
transaction.  It processes dozens of these things then... suddenly it stops.  I cannot get it to 
start again.  If i exit SSMS it pops up a message:

  "there are uncommitted transactions.  Do you wish to commit these transactions before closing the 
window?"

I say yes, it performs a commit, and I can go right back in to SSMS and start up this process and it 
takes off and runs.

So what is SSMS doing to commit these "uncommitted transactions"?  And can I do that same thing in TSQL?

I wrap the transaction group in a

Begin Transaction
Do stuff
Do more stuff
Commit

What more is there?

I like to name my transactions
So when I write it I do it like this:

Else begin
Rollback tran t1
End

In this way I know that what I've wrapped up is actually committed (or
rolled back when some criteria is not met.)

Is Tran an acceptable abbreviation or was that just an aircode thing?

It's acceptable.

I also do it like Francisco showed.

When i rollback i like to raise an error so the front end knows it was
rolled back and your error trapping can catch it and handle it gracefully.

Something like: raiserror('somethingHappened',17,1)

Hey Dav!

good call on the raise error, I think the raise error will be even more
significant for John who wants to just know if the process succeeded or
failed (and if failed for what reason).

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Actually this is about MySQL not SQL Server

My best friend and co-author has been very busy extending and enhancing and
embellishing the page on our website, called Common MySQL Queries. Let the
world know that Peter is the smartest man I've ever met, and his
extensions/enhancements/embellishments to this page evince all the proof I
(and you) shall need.

If you're interested in MySQL, kindly visit
http://www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/queries.php to be enlightened on how
to do tough stuff in MySQL.
