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

Answer 1

try
{
    // insert query for insert new record in your table 
}
catch(Exception Ex)
{
    //if it throw exception then catch it

     int s=Ex.getErrorCode(); // check it for 903 error

     //903 is table not existing error in oracle11g

 // then create your new table here otherwise if table present then record get stored in database
}
