CREATE VIEW AS SELECT FROM 检查表是否存在

Question

是否可以在创建视图时检查我从中选择的表是否确实存在？为了防止无效的对象名称'MyItems'或关键字VIEW附近的语法不正确。

-- ok this is super simplistic
-- but it is enough to illustrate the point
CREATE VIEW vw_MyView
AS
SELECT DISTINCT Id, Name, COUNT(CategoryId) OVER (PARTITION BY Id) AS Total
FROM MyItems
GO

我有一堆这些视图是作为批处理脚本的一部分创建的。在此示例中，如果 MyItems 不存在，则执行会中断整个批处理脚本。

所以，我想我会在每个 CREATE VIEW 语句前添加一堆检查，以确保表确实存在。

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[MyItems]') AND type IN (N'U'))
    -- CREATE VIEW <snip></snip>
GO

但事实证明，CREATE VIEW 语句必须是查询批处理中的第一条语句。

回到我的问题，当 CREATE VIEW 因为从不存在的表中读取而无法完成时，是否有某种解决方法可以捕获？

我正在使用 MS SQL Server 2008 R2。

Answer 1

使用动态 SQL 的另一种选择：

DECLARE @sqlcmd NVARCHAR(MAX);

SELECT @sqlcmd = 
'CREATE VIEW vw_MyView
 AS
 SELECT DISTINCT Id, Name, COUNT(CategoryId) OVER (PARTITION BY Id) AS Total
 FROM MyItems
 GO';

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[MyItems]') AND type IN (N'U'))
  BEGIN
    EXEC sp_executesql @sqlcmd
  END

ELSE
  BEGIN 
    PRINT 'Table doesnt exist'
  END

此代码可能对您有所帮助，请尝试一次

IF EXISTS (
        SELECT 1
        FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
        WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'MyItems'
            AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
        )
BEGIN
    IF NOT EXISTS (
            SELECT 1
            FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
            WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'vw_MyView'
                AND TABLE_TYPE = 'VIEW'
            )
    BEGIN
        CREATE VIEW vw_MyView
        AS
        SELECT DISTINCT Id
            ,NAME
            ,COUNT(CategoryId) OVER (PARTITION BY Id) AS Total
        FROM MyItems 
    END 
END
