hi,
is it possible to enable the following:
i first check if a table exists. if exists, then check each column of a table. if table or column(s) not exist then create it. then i try to insert data. see code below:
-------------------------------------
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'XYZ')
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE XYZ(
Id INT IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL,
Test VARCHAR(50) NULL
)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'XYZ' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'Test')
BEGIN
ALTER TABLE XYZ ADD Test VARCHAR(50) NULL
END
END
INSERT INTO XYZ(Test) VALUES ('Test')
--------------------------------------------------------
if the table already exists (without column "Test") there is a Error while Execution: "Column Test does not exist"
is it possible to run the script? i don't want to execute the insert with EXEC('INSERT INTO...') and without any GO Between the lines.
thank you very much
