Creating an SQLite table only if it doesn't already exist

Question

I need my PHP app to be able to create an SQLite table but only if it doesn\'t already exist. How should I go about it?

Answer 1

You can use:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS  (
  /* definition */
)

Which is supported by SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org/syntaxdiagrams.html#create-table-stmt)
