Re: Error handling and 'if exists'

Are you allowing a user to pass "drop temporary table t_person;" to the stored procedure? That is the wrong level of abstraction. The stored procedure should have one function and it is given the name of the table to drop. Then it
1. Check that user is not trying to drop things that he should not touch,
2. Constructs the DROP statement.
3. Executes it.
4. Checks for errors. About the only error at this point would be "table does not exist".
