Subject How to know if a field already exists on a table
Author Carol Milius
Hi,

(First) How to know if a field already exists on a table?
Is this possible?

Select AFIELD
From SOMEWHERE_ON_THE_DATABASE

If result is not null, the field exists?



(Second) **If** the question above is valid,
can I implement a stored procedure to check existence of fields on tables?

MY_STORED_PROCEDURE
IN_Parameteres:
AField // the name of the field
ATable // then name of the table

OUT_Parameters:
AResult //something to say if the field exists or not


Select AField
From ATable
In :AResult


Thanks,

Carol
