Create Table Problem
Greetings,
I am trying to create a table using using a sp_ and the following code:
CREATE TABLE Summary_Tbl
(Criimi varchar(6),
PropertyNBR int,
Report_Period datetime,
ChartofAccount_Code varchar(5),
Revenue money,
Expenses money,
Excluded money)
The sp seems to work fine (i.e., no errors) but the table is never created. I get an Invalid Object Name error later when I try to merging a number of temp tables into Summary_Tbl.
What's up? Besides the sky....
Thanks,
Brad

Does your script working fine when you start it from isqlw window?

I found that out last night. So, I created the table using enterprise manager. What I want to do is keep the same table but remove the records (I though "DROP TABLE" would do this) but now when I reference the table I get:
Invalid object name 'Statement_Summary_Tbl'
when I try to INSERT INTO 'Statement_Summary_Tbl'
Is there a better way to remove all the records each time the sp is executed?
FYI- vvk I am now doing all of this in Isql.

With DROP TABLE you remove the whole table structure !
To remove only the records, just do:
DELETE FROM Table_Name
To remove only the records, just do:
DELETE FROM Table_Name
bhummel,
A correction to my first answer,
It _is_ possible to create a table from within a stored proc.
(At least with SQL-Server 6.5)
I think your DROP TABLE command was your problem in the first place.
This command does totally remove the table.

Within a stored procedure, I use TRUNCATE TABLE to keep the table structure and get rid of the records. It's faster than
DELETE because it does not log individual row deletions. If you
table doesn't contain rows you want to keep permanently, its the way to go.
