Thank You Like - Recount very slow

That's really bizarre. You have permission to alter the table and add the column, but not to check whether the column exists.

I don't know if this would make a difference but I have 5 different databases on the server and can only look at one at a time (it won't let me even have 2 open in different tabs) ... would it think that I am trying to change them all?

I mean with the "INTO @exist" part of that query?
