# 8  
Old 10-10-2018
I tried to execute only the if exist statement to know if it throws error in starting itself.
Example:
Code:
if exists(select 1 from sysobjects where name = 'sample_table' and type = 'U')
begin
   select 'hi'
end

I get the error as below:
Code:
Error starting at line : 4 in command -
if exists(select 1 from sysobjects where name = 'mbs_pers_del_dp_sample' and type = 'U' )
Error report -
SQL Error: Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Error starting at line : 5 in command -
begin
   select 'hi'
  end
Error report -
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'begin'.
