Check that a table exists in MySQL?
In order to check a table exists in MySQL, you can use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table Client_information -> ( -> Id int, -> Name varchar(10) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.48 sec)
Following is the query to insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into Client_information values(1,'Larry'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into Client_information values(2,'Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into Client_information values(3,'Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
Following is the query to display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from Client_information;
This will produce the following output −
+------+-------+ | Id | Name | +------+-------+ | 1 | Larry | | 2 | Mike | | 3 | Sam | +------+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to check that a table exists in MySQL or not −
mysql> select * from information_schema.tables where table_name='Client_information';
Following output states, the table “Client_information“exist −
