Question

I have a SQL stored procedure that needs to execute only if lookup table value has today’s date.

If not then it should run again after 30 minutes with the same criteria.

How can I do that?

Look up table has just one date row value = ’12-14-2012′. It will be change by another process.

Something like this can do it for you. Note this code will not execute, you will need to replace items with your values.

DECLARE @Today DATE
SET @Today = GETDATE()

IF EXISTS (SELECT 'x' FROM MyTable WHERE CAST(ColumnName as DATE) = @Today)
    BEGIN
      EXEC Sproc Here
    END
