sql server data mining : Any equivalent of "Create or Replace"?
No, not to my knowledge. The next best way for any objects other than tables is: If the object exists drop it GO Create the object I do this also with tables but I have to combine them with ALTER scripts. You don't want to create a table more than once, normally. Ron -- Ron Talmage SQL Server MVP [quoted text, click to view] "Ram P.

Hi,
Is there any equivalent in SQL server for oracle statement "Create or Replace" such as CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE....... As far as I know, SQL Server doesn't support "CREATE OR REPLACE". Also a DROP and a CREATE can't reside in the same query batch file. I want to put the whole script (for creating a new procedure or ALTERing an existing one) in one file and be able to run it. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ram
ALTER PROCEDURE would overwrite the existing procedure with the same name.
Actually, as the name suggestion, it would ALTER the existing Sproc. [quoted text, click to view] "Ram P. Dash" wrote:

Thanks Ron,
I found a way to do this taking cue from your advice: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE id = OBJECT_ID(N'[MyStoredProc]') AND OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1) DROP PROCEDURE [MyStoredProc] GO CREATE PROCEDURE MyStoredProc...... GO In this way, I can run this query batch file and change it at any time if I want to. This was part of a requirement to do version control on stored procedures and now I am happy with the solution. And you are right, we won't be doing this for tables.

Ram,
This way uses a little bit less code and doesn't access a system table: IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.MyStoredProc', 'P') IS NOT NULL DROP PROCEDURE dbo.MyStoredProc GO If you have good naming conventions there's no need to use the undocumented 'P' parameter: IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.usp_MyStoredProc') IS NOT NULL DROP PROCEDURE dbo.usp_MyStoredProc GO Hope this helps, Ron -- Ron Talmage SQL Server MVP [quoted text, click to view] "Ram P.

That's exactly what I want.
