"but I assume you mean to check the information_schema "database" and the schemata table?"
No, Rich meant "check the mysql data directory for a karate directory." MySQL databases (for MyISAM tables) are stored in their own directory, and each table is a set of 3 files, so its easy to check for file existance, permissions etc. I can't comment on InnoDB tables.
