Okay, it's up. If anyone wants to explain to me the point of the "where exists" clause in the SQL, I would be interested to hear. It works as
expected this way, but is that clause necessary?

The 'if exists' clause protects against an SQLite error raised if you ask to delete a table that doesn't exist. The code will work without it if the table exists, but will exit without creating the table if not.

Thanks for a useful addition to the Org babel SQLite documentation. I agree with you that Org mode tables are a convenient way to enter SQL data, keeping in mind that table columns can't be rearranged without changes to the SQL code.

All the best,
Tom
