If exists..

Hi,
Is there any way to check whether a column is there in the table, if it is there i need to drop it through script.

i'm looking for the script, something like this..

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[FK_Tbl_Product_Tbl_Products]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsForeignKey') = 1)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Tbl_Product] DROP CONSTRAINT FK_Tbl_Product_Tbl_Products
GO

In the same way i need to check for a column and drop it through script.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.Look at the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns View...

But I would advise against any auto mucking|||Hi Brett..
Here is what i did..
if exists (select * from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'tablename' and column_name = 'columnname')
alter table tablename drop column columnname
go
alter table tablename add columnname varchar(255) null
go

It worked..
Thanks.sql
