你可以这样做:

            string strCheck = "SHOW TABLES LIKE \'tableName\'";
            cmd = new MySqlCommand(strCheck, connection);
            if (connection.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
            {
                connection.Open();
            }
            cmd.Prepare();
            var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            if (reader.HasRows)
            {                             
              Console.WriteLine("Table Exist!");
            }
            else
            {                             
              Console.WriteLine("Table does not Exist!");
            }

除了SELECT选项，其他选项都不允许使用SELECT中的数据库名称，所以我这样写:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM information_schema.TABLES 
WHERE CONCAT(table_schema,".",table_name)="db_name.table_name";

下面是一个不是SELECT * FROM的表

SHOW TABLES FROM `db` LIKE 'tablename'; //zero rows = not exist

这是从一个数据库专家那里得到的，这是我被告知的:

select 1 from `tablename`; //avoids a function call
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables where schema = 'db' and table = 'table' // slow. Field names not accurate
SHOW TABLES FROM `db` LIKE 'tablename'; //zero rows = does not exist

你可以这样做:

            string strCheck = "SHOW TABLES LIKE \'tableName\'";
            cmd = new MySqlCommand(strCheck, connection);
            if (connection.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
            {
                connection.Open();
            }
            cmd.Prepare();
            var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            if (reader.HasRows)
            {                             
              Console.WriteLine("Table Exist!");
            }
            else
            {                             
              Console.WriteLine("Table does not Exist!");
            }

您可以查询INFORMATION_SCHEMA表的系统视图:

SELECT table_name
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema = 'databasename'
AND table_name = 'testtable';

如果没有返回行，则表不存在。

SELECT count(*)
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE (TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your_db_name') AND (TABLE_NAME = 'name_of_table')

如果得到非零计数，则表存在。
