Hi, I have a problem. I tried finding a proper solution, but could not. 1) The query "create table if not exists temp2.t1 select * from temp1.t1;" does not copy the primary key details etc. It copies everything else. Any work around for this ?
2) What is the best way to check if a table exists in a database ? Currently I do a "show tables like tablename" query, but it takes approx 20 millis for me now, while a normal update on a table column takes less than 5 millis. (This figure is from my code not directly with mysql. Also I may have upto 500 tables in my database). Any suggestions on the above would be helpful.
