Another way to do it is to use $this->Model->loadInfo(). According to the
function description:
"Returns an array of table metadata (column names and types) from the
database."
So perhaps try with:
if( $this->ModelName->loadInfo() ) {
// table exists
} else {
// table doesn't exist
}
Come to think of it, it may return an empty array which could mean the table
exists but has no columns defined, so try it out and see what the function
returns in all 3 cases (table exists and columns defined, table exists and
no columns defined, table doesn't exist).
