Re: How to check the existance of a table ?

Thanks a lot for the help. It works fine.

Another "freshman" question.

I'm going to test if the table exists and if not I am going to create it.

bolExist = sp_TableExist(TempTableName)
if bolExist = False
THEN
  CREATE TABLE || TempTableName || || ' (ID_COL int IDENTITY, INPUT_ID int ) '; (Where ID_COL is a autonumber)
END IF; Robert :-)
