  • 0

When writing a T-SQL script that I plan on re-running, often times I use temporary tables to store temporary data. Since the temp table is created on the fly, I’d like to be able to drop that table only if it exists (before I create it).

I’ll post the method that I use, but I’d like to see if there is a better way.
