我的一位好朋友和同事向我展示了如何在SQL Server 2005和更高版本中使用带有SQL函数OBJECT_ID和COLUMNPROPERTY的IF块来检查列。您可以使用类似于以下内容的内容：

你可以在这里看到：

IF (OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[myTable]') IS NOT NULL AND
    COLUMNPROPERTY( OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[myTable]'), 'ThisColumnDoesNotExist', 'ColumnId') IS NULL)
BEGIN
    SELECT 'Column does not exist -- You can add TSQL to add the column here'
END

这在SQL Server 2000中对我有效：

IF EXISTS
(
    SELECT *
    FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
    WHERE table_name = 'table_name'
    AND column_name = 'column_name'
)
BEGIN
...
END

declare @myColumn   as nvarchar(128)
set @myColumn = 'myColumn'
if not exists (
    select  1
    from    information_schema.columns columns 
    where   columns.table_catalog   = 'myDatabase'
        and columns.table_schema    = 'mySchema' 
        and columns.table_name      = 'myTable' 
        and columns.column_name     = @myColumn
    )
begin
    exec('alter table myDatabase.mySchema.myTable add'
    +'    ['+@myColumn+'] bigint       null')
end

执行以下查询以检查给定表中是否存在该列：

IF(SELECT COLUMN_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME = 'TableName' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'ColumnName') IS NOT NULL
PRINT 'Column Exists in the given table';

调整以下内容以满足您的具体要求：

if not exists (select
                     column_name
               from
                     INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns
               where
                     table_name = 'MyTable'
                     and column_name = 'MyColumn')
    alter table MyTable add MyColumn int

这应该会奏效——仔细检查代码，找出愚蠢的错误；例如，您是否在应用插入的同一数据库上查询INFORMATION_SCHEMA？在这两个语句中，您的表/列名是否有拼写错误？

最简单易懂的解决方案之一是：

IF COL_LENGTH('Table_Name','Column_Name') IS NULL
  BEGIN
    -- Column Not Exists, implement your logic
  END
ELSE
  BEGIN
    -- Column Exists, implement your logic
  END
