How do I conditionally create a table in Sybase (TSQL)?

Question

OK, so Sybase (12.5.4) will let me do the following to DROP a table if it already exists:

IF EXISTS (
    SELECT 1
    FROM sysobjects
    WHERE name = \'a_t         


        

Answer 1

This works when tested with Sybase anywhere 10.01 :

if not exists(select * from SysColumns where tname = 'AAA') then create table DBA.AAA(  UNIQUEID integer not null ) END IF ;
