Hi everyone, in my script I have to deal with a huge database with thousands of tables. Given a table name (a python string) I would have to now if such a table exists or not. Up to now I have written this function:
def DBGetTableByName(table_name) : metadata = MetaData(engine) try : table = Table(table_name, metadata, autoload=True) return table except NoSuchTableError : return None I use its return value to check if the table exists, but the problem is that it is too slow. Since I have to repeat this operation several times I wonder if there is a faster (and smarter) way to perform this control. Any hints?
