not much reason to go beyond this. if you are designing a site that
generates dynamic PERMANENT tables, your architecture is SERIOUSLY flawed!
temporary tables should NOT span a scope beyond the lifetime of the
executing php script either!

i would stay away from suppressing the query unless you do it in an IF bock
that handles the failure of a query. run the query unsuppressed within a
try/catch block where you actually HANDLE the error...otherwise, your
architecture is SERIOUSLY flawed.

i would stay away from running a query to detect whether or not the table
exists, as you will find that out once you perform your main query anyway.

we could all give you better advice, if you were more descriptive of why you
are trying to do this.
