Oracle Create Table if it does not exist

Question

Can anyone point me to the right syntax to use in order to create a table only if it does not currently exist in the database?

I\'m currently programming a Java GUI

You can do this with the Following Procedure -

BEGIN
    BEGIN
         EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE <>';
    EXCEPTION
         WHEN OTHERS THEN
                IF SQLCODE != -942 THEN
                     RAISE;
                END IF;
    END;

    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE '<>';

END;

Hope this may help you.
