I need my database to see if a 'table' exists so i know if anything has been stored there or not. As if not i can assume it is a new instalition and run the set up process, and if it is then they get to carry on as normal.

However if i try to select something from a non existant table i get an error



What is the correct method of testing if a table exists so i know if there are any users there or not.

Thank you.
