Create table in SQLite only if it doesn't exist already

Question

I would like to create a table in an SQLite database only if the table doesn't exist already. Is there any way to like this? I don't want to drop the table if it exists already, only I need to create it if it doesn't.

Answer 1

You can use this following query for creating the table only if it doesn't exist.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS some_table (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, ...);
