如果不存在,我需要添加一个特定的列。我有类似以下的内容,但它总是返回false:

IF EXISTS(SELECT *
          FROM   INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
          WHERE  TABLE_NAME = 'myTableName'
                 AND COLUMN_NAME = 'myColumnName') 

如何检查SQL Server数据库的表中是否存在列?


当前回答

IF EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_CATALOG = 'Database Name'
and TABLE_SCHEMA = 'Schema Name'
and TABLE_NAME = 'Table Name'
and COLUMN_NAME = 'Column Name'
and DATA_TYPE = 'Column Type') -- Where statement lines can be deleted.

BEGIN
  -- Column exists in table
END

ELSE BEGIN
  -- Column does not exist in table
END

您可以一次检查SQLDB中的多个列,并返回一个字符串作为状态以检查列是否存在:

IF EXISTS
        (
          SELECT *
          FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
          WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Table Name'
          AND(COLUMN_NAME = 'column 1'
          or COLUMN_NAME = 'column 2'
          or COLUMN_NAME = 'column 3'
          or COLUMN_NAME = 'column 4')
        )
        SELECT 'Column exists in table' AS[Status];
        ELSE
        SELECT 'Column does not exist in table' AS[Status];

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
IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM sys.columns
      WHERE Name = N'columnName'
      AND Object_ID = Object_ID(N'schemaName.tableName'))

这应该是解决这个问题的比较简单和直接的方法。我曾多次在类似的场景中使用过这种方法。毫无疑问,它就像一种魅力。

Wheat的答案很好,但它假设您在任何模式或数据库中都没有任何相同的表名/列名对。为了确保安全,使用这个。。。

select *
from Information_Schema.Columns
where Table_Catalog = 'DatabaseName'
  and Table_Schema = 'SchemaName'
  and Table_Name = 'TableName'
  and Column_Name = 'ColumnName'

另一个贡献是下面的示例,如果列不存在,则添加该列。

    USE [Northwind]
    GO

    IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
                    WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Categories'
                        AND COLUMN_NAME = 'Note')
    BEGIN

    ALTER TABLE Categories ADD Note NVARCHAR(800) NULL

    END
    GO
