My name is Manohar Rao N.V.S.
I want a small help from you.

In my application I want to check for the existance of Tables in the database I am using. I am using 5 tables to retrive data from database, I want to check for the existance of all the 5 tables in only one single query. One of the Parent table has a primary key and others have a reference.

How can I do it."

select * from sysobjects
where xtype='U'
and name in('table1','table2','table3','table4','table5')


you can also check for EXISTS BOL.
