试试这个

SELECT COLUMNS.*
FROM   INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS COLUMNS,
       INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES TABLES
WHERE  COLUMNS.TABLE_NAME = TABLES.TABLE_NAME
       AND Upper(COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME) = Upper('column_name') 

接受答案的临时表格版本：

if (exists(select 1
           from tempdb.sys.columns
           where Name = 'columnName'
                 and Object_ID = object_id('tempdb..#tableName')))
begin
...
end

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？

我需要类似于SQL Server 2000的东西，正如Mitch所指出的，这只适用于SQL Server 2005或更高版本。

这就是我最终的工作：

if exists (
    select *
    from
        sysobjects, syscolumns
    where
        sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id
        and sysobjects.name = 'table'
        and syscolumns.name = 'column')

还有一种变化。。。

SELECT 
  Count(*) AS existFlag 
FROM 
  sys.columns 
WHERE 
  [name] = N 'ColumnName' 
  AND [object_id] = OBJECT_ID(N 'TableName')

试试这个

SELECT COLUMNS.*
FROM   INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS COLUMNS,
       INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES TABLES
WHERE  COLUMNS.TABLE_NAME = TABLES.TABLE_NAME
       AND Upper(COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME) = Upper('column_name')
