你可以试试:

SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='table_name'

这是我的SQLite Cordova代码:

get_columnNames('LastUpdate', function (data) {
    if (data.length > 0) { // In data you also have columnNames
        console.log("Table full");
    }
    else {
        console.log("Table empty");
    }
});

另一个是:

function get_columnNames(tableName, callback) {
    myDb.transaction(function (transaction) {
        var query_exec = "SELECT name, sql FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name ='" + tableName + "'";
        transaction.executeSql(query_exec, [], function (tx, results) {
            var columnNames = [];
            var len = results.rows.length;
            if (len>0){
                var columnParts = results.rows.item(0).sql.replace(/^[^\(]+\(([^\)]+)\)/g, '$1').split(','); ///// RegEx
                for (i in columnParts) {
                    if (typeof columnParts[i] === 'string')
                        columnNames.push(columnParts[i].split(" ")[0]);
                };
                callback(columnNames);
            }
            else callback(columnNames);
        });
    });
}

在swift的数据库中，表是否存在

func tableExists(_ tableName:String) -> Bool {
        sqlStatement = "SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name='\(tableName)'"
        if sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sqlStatement,-1, &compiledStatement, nil) == SQLITE_OK {
            if sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW {
                return true
            }
            else {
                return false
            }
        }
        else {
            return false
        }
            sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement)
    }

你可以试试:

SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='table_name'

如果你使用SQLite 3.3+版本，你可以很容易地创建一个表:

create table if not exists TableName (col1 typ1, ..., colN typN)

以同样的方式，你可以删除一个表，如果它存在，使用:

drop table if exists TableName

R DBI包中的函数dbExistsTable()为R程序员简化了这个问题。请看下面的例子:

library(DBI)
con <- dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:")
# let us check if table iris exists in the database
dbExistsTable(con, "iris")
### returns FALSE

# now let us create the table iris below,
dbCreateTable(con, "iris", iris)
# Again let us check if the table iris exists in the database,
dbExistsTable(con, "iris")
### returns TRUE
