The other way around is, you can check using IFExist() for any DB objects and proceed accordingly.

Thanks

is there a way to enforce that the objects related in a stored procedure exists?

for example, i want that this script fail when i execute it. Not when runs the stored procedure the first time.

CREATE PROCEDURE TEST_SP_OBJECT_DOESNT_EXIST
AS
BEGIN

SELECT * FROM TABLE_THAT_DOESNT_EXIST
END
GO

Thank you

Can you explain what is meant by “compiled”? Does it simply mean the execution plan is cached? The stored procedure is not compiled in the way that I’d consider a C# program compiled, right?

Thanks.

Output parameter is best way to get a value into a variable out of a stored procedure.
For example if you want to return a value like “YourName” from a stored procedure into a variable @YourName. Here you have three options:
1. In the stored procedure store the value in some user table and out of stored procedure select the stored value in variable.
2. Use an insert into statement with a table variable and insert the result of EXEC yourSP and then set the value in your variable from table variable.
3. Easiest is assign the value to an output parameter.
