The problem I have with my solution, but I guess it's the same of the
one of the link, is that if I use it inside a controller, I get an error
before even reaching that code, due to a missing table... is there a way
to avoid this?
Of course I need this check for an installation page, which I'm
developing using a controller...
thanks in advance

You can try this, then see if your table exists within the array.

Hi
is this a correct way of checking whether a table exists?
function check_table_exists($table) {
$dbo = $this->getDataSource();
$result = $dbo->_execute('DESCRIBE '.$table);
return !empty($result);
}
thanks in advance
