Validating an SQL query programmatically, with gotcha
Read OriginalThis technical article details how to use the SET NOEXEC statement in T-SQL to compile and validate the syntax of a query without executing it. It highlights a specific 'gotcha' in SQL Server 2008 where the command fails to validate object names (e.g., non-existent tables) as documented, contrasting it with SQL Server 2005's correct behavior. The post also mentions the SET FMTONLY alternative for metadata retrieval.
