Question

Hey, I am trying to put a little logic into my C# app that will create a table called Import, IF it doesn’t already exist.. here is my code, it doesn’t seem to work tho.

con.Open();
                    using (SqlCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand())
                    {
                        cmd.CommandText =
                            @" 
                       IF (EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'RX_CMMData' AND TABLE_NAME = 'Import'))
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE Import (
  RowId     integer PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
  PartNumber  varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  CMMNumber   varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  Date        varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  FeatType    varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  FeatName    varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  Value       varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  Actual      decimal,
  Nominal     decimal,
  Dev         decimal,
  TolMin      decimal,
  TolPlus     decimal,
  OutOfTol    decimal,
  FileName    varchar(200) NOT NULL
); END";
                        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                    }
                    con.Close();

The syntax of that under SQL Server 2005 is

IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[tablename]') AND type in (N'U'))
BEGIN
  -- create
END

In your code, where is the = FALSE or NOT keyword?
