using Object_id() function with #tables

Question

I want to ensure if a temporary table exists in my database or not.

I tried to use OBJECT_ID() function but it seems that I can\'t use it with temporary

Answer 1

From SQL Server Codebook

How do you check if a temp table exists?
You can use IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL

SQL Script

--Check if it exists
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
PRINT '#temp exists!'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT '#temp does not exist!'
END
