Checking database has a table.

[PIEBALDconsult]

Yet another way to get a list of tables in an ADO.net-supported database:

System.Data.Common.DbConnection con =
this.command.Connection as System.Data.Common.DbConnection ;

if ( con != null )
{
System.Data.DataTable temp = con.GetSchema
(
"TABLES"
) ;

temp.DefaultView.RowFilter = "TABLE\_TYPE='TABLE' OR TABLE\_TYPE='BASE TABLE'" ;
temp.DefaultView.Sort = "TABLE\_NAME" ;

You can use this code to check if a table exists.

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MyTable]') AND type in (N'U'))
PRINT 'MyTable exists.'
ELSE
PRINT 'MyTable does not exist.'

try with this..

If Object_ID('dbo.MyTable') IS NOT NULL
PRINT 'MyTable Exists'
Else
PRINT 'MyTable Not Exists'

If there is a view or stored procedure with the same name, this script will fail.
