Re: Create a missing table in SQL ?

First off, you have SQL naming convention in the statement - iSQL normally uses SYS - Take F13 opt 1 to see what is being used.

At 02:16 PM 10/3/2003 -0500, you wrote:

I'm trying to check for the existence of a table, and do something depending upon the result.

BEGIN ATOMIC
    DECLARE v_rc INT DEFAULT 0;
    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO v_rc
        FROM SYSCAT.TABLES
        WHERE TABNAME = 'NAMES' ;
    IF v_rc = 0 THEN
        CREATE TABLE NAMES........;
    ELSE
          DROP TABEL NAMES;
        CREATE TABLE NAMES........;
    END IF;
END

Using the interactive SQL, it gives weird errors about end of statement and such...

Anyone see what's wrong ?

Thanks,
