Er, what do you mean by C Syntax -- SQL isn't C? If you meant ANSI SQL syntax,
you could use:
select count(*) from sqlite_master where type='table' and
lower(name)=lower('tablename');
Instead. But since you're accessing a metadata table that only exists in
SQLite, this isn't particularly more standard.
