This is really beginning to frustrate me.

IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails', N'U') IS NOT NULL

AND EXISTS ( SELECT TOP 1

'X'

FROM

sys.columns

WHERE

name = N'Threshold2011Or2013Stage1'

AND [object_id] = OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails') )

BEGIN;

/* Rename two columns */

EXECUTE sys.sp_rename

'dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails.Threshold2011Or2013Stage1'

,'dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails.Threshold2014Stage1';

EXECUTE sys.sp_rename

'dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails.MetThreshold2011Or2013Stage1'

,'dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails.MetThreshold2014Stage1';

END;

ELSE

IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails', N'U') IS NULL

BEGIN;

EXECUTE(N'

CREATE TABLE dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails

(

AuditID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL

,MeasureName VARCHAR(100)

,CriteriaCertificationNumber VARCHAR(50)

,ObjectiveNumber VARCHAR(3)

,ObjectiveName VARCHAR(100)

,Denominator DECIMAL

,Numerator DECIMAL

,SelfAttestation CHAR(1)

,CONSTRAINT mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetailsFK FOREIGN KEY ( AuditID ) REFERENCES dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditRun ( AuditID )

);');

When the table does NOT exist, the last section of code "executes" (I put a SELECT 'X' before the dynamic statement, which is displayed) but the table is NOT created (I immediately run SELECT TOP 1 * FROM dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails and get error "Invalid object name 'dbo.mtzcus_2014_CoreMenuAuditDetails'."

Am I missing something obvious here, or maybe something not so obvious?

Thanks,

Jeff
