Why do you only want to see if the table is there?

You can always do

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ...
CREATE TABLE ...

to replace the definition or

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ...

to keep the old definition.

Betreff: [sqlite] to find table exists or not

Hi all,


 I just want to find whether table exists or not in a database.


Is it correct query?


select distinct tbl_name from sqlite_master where tbl_name = 'abc';


Is there any other better way to find whether table exists or not.


Thanks in advance.


Regards,
