Subject: [RBASE-L] - Check for Existence of a Table


What would anyone recommend as the best/easiest/fastest way to ascertain whether
or not a table exists?

I need to check that a table exists at run-time.  If it doesn't, then I CREATE
TABLE ...

CREATE TABLE ... TEMP is not a viable alternative in this particular context.


TIA,
Steve in Memphis
