Yup....if you are using SQL server the syntax is.....
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE name = "<tablename>" AND type =
"U")
BEGIN
PRINT "Table Exists!."
END

Subject: checking for tables?
quick question:
is there any way to check to see if a table exists without querying it, and
throwing an error if it does not? I want to either CREATE or INSERT a table
depending on whether or not it already exists....
