DROP TABLE employees
CREATE TABLE employees

Subject: [GENERAL] Test for existence of Table

Can I test for an existing table before issuing the "CREATE TABLE" command?

IF EXISTS employees{
DROP TABLE employees
}
CREATE TABLE employees

Can you provide an example of this. I couldn't find this in the manual or
Bruce's book - did I not look hard enough ? :)
