id  filepath

1   C:\vishwanath\21776656.docx
2   C:\vishwanath\vish\s_srv_req_2009.txt
3   C:\Users\dalvi\DW\DW20SharedAmd64.exe
4   C:\Users\dalvi\1.txt

I've table like this created in my db server, I've stored file paths in it filepath column, now I've to check using sql whether the file exists in my machine, if it exists I need to add temporary column in my table showing yes if exists and no it doesn't exists.

I wrote this code which works for 1 file But I don't know how to use it for my table.

DECLARE @isExists INT
exec master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'C:\vishwanath\21776656.docx', 
@isExists OUTPUT
SELECT case @isExists 
when 1 then 'Yes' 
else 'No' 
end as isExists

The Final output should like this

id  filepath                                 Isexists

1   C:\vishwanath\21776656.docx               Yes
2   C:\vishwanath\vish\s_srv_req_2009.txt     Yes
3   C:\Users\dalvi\DW\DW20SharedAmd64.exe     Yes
4   C:\Users\dalvi\1.txt                      No
