IF EXISTS

I wanna check the linked server is exist then do nothing and if not then
create linked server. Any command ?
like
if not exists()
begin
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'FASAT\FASATBASE'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'FASAT\FASATBASE', 'false', NULL, 'sa',
'testing'
end
Thanks
David
David,
You can try something like:
if not exists
(select * from sysservers where srvname like
'YourLinkedServerName')

|||Howdy Yall,
ALA, like this:
<@.sServerName, @.sSrvProduct, @.sProviderString, @.sPathToMdb are passed-in>
--Kill the server IF it exists and get rid of the user logins too!
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM master..sysservers where srvname=@.sServerName)
EXEC sp_dropserver @.server = @.sServerName, @.droplogins = 'droplogins'
--This will create the LINK
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @.server = @.sServerName,
@.srvproduct = @.sSrvProduct,
@.provider = @.sProviderString,
@.datasrc = @.sPathToMdb
IF @.@.ERROR=0
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @.sServerName, 'false', NULL, NULL, NULL
