Is there a way to see if a trigger or table exists in the database before
submitting an SQL update script?

Example:
Client 1 has a database with NO BankDesc table
Client 2 has a database WITH a BankDesc table.

Need to incorporate a SQL update that is similar to:
 If NOT exist BankDesc then Create BankDesc...

If possible, then the same update could be ran on both Client 1 and Client
2's database with no errors.

I looked at the 'Whenever SQLERROR Continue' example, but attempting a SQL
update:
Create table BankDesc....
Whenever SqlError Continue

via IBConsole was not successful (table already in database).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Tom Greenway
