I tend to go for the simple approach:
if object_id('tablename') is null
create table tablename ( ... )
Since it's all done in one statement in SQL, you don't have to worry about
reentrancy.

Subject: checking for tables?
quick question:
is there any way to check to see if a table exists without querying it, and
throwing an error if it does not? I want to either CREATE or INSERT a table
depending on whether or not it already exists....
