I use the following for creating a temporary table:

  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tbl SELECT ...

This query may be run multiple times by the same client connection since
it's part of a Web application.  The problem is that if 'tbl' *does* exist,
the select command is executed again and the information is duplicated in
the temporary table.  Is there a way to leave 'tbl' and its data alone if it
exists?
