Very cool exercise. I needed to revise the create table T-SQL to the code below in order for it to work for me.

-- Check if destination table already exists, If it does not, execute the create table statement

IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE [object_id] = OBJECT_ID(@TableName) AND type in (N'U'))

begin

EXEC (@TableCreateCmd)

end

I was using SQL 2005.

Thanks!
