I've never know STRSQL to accept "programming-like" commands. I've never
tried it, but what about RUNSQLSTM?

Subject: RE: Create a missing table in SQL ?

Thanks Bill.

The problem I'm really having is that I can't seem to get the interactive
SQL tool to accept any SQL that uses DECLARE xxx

In SQLServer & Oracle, I can type SQL as below into their respective
interactive SQL tools (to test) and it gets executed.

For SQLServer the working SQL is;

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id =
object_id(N'[0a0a48cc0018cb3a
000000f6433b730e8188]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) 
   TRUNCATE TABLE [0a0a48cc0018cb3a000000f6433b730e8188] 
ELSE 
   CREATE TABLE "0a0a48cc0018cb3a000000f6433b730e8188" 
   (    MODEL_ID nvarchar (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, 
        ENTY_ID varchar (255) NULL,
        ...
    )

For Oracle it's;

    declare n number;
    table_not_exist exception;
    pragma exception_init(table_not_exist,-00942);
    begin 
        execute immediate 'truncate table "$user$"."$tableName$"';
        commit; 
        exception 
        when table_not_exist then
            execute immediate 'CREATE TABLE 
                $tableName$ 
                ( MODEL_ID varchar (255) NULL, 
                ENTY_ID varchar (255) NULL, 
                ...
                ) TABLESPACE "SMS_DM_CRMCAT"';
        commit;
    end;

Both work as is in the interactive SQL tool.

What's up with the UDB2 tool ?
