ormCheckTable()

The ormCheckTable() command checks for the existence of a table in a specific database and stores the result in a destination variable. This command is useful for verifying if a table already exists before attempting further operations on it.

Parameters

• dbaseName Type: value Description: The name of the database in which the table's existence should be checked. It should be a string indicating the database to check.
• varTarget Type: variable Description: The variable in which the result of the check will be stored. It should be a variable that will receive a value indicating whether the table exists or not.

Command Flow

Example Usage

Suppose you want to check if a table called users exists in a database called myDatabase .

// Define variables
dbaseName = "myDatabase"
tableExists = ''

// Call the command to check the existence of the table
ormCheckTable(dbaseName, tableExists)

// Return the result of the check via addResult
addResult(tableExists)

In this example, the ormCheckTable() command will check for the existence of the users table in the myDatabase database. The result of the check (whether the table exists or not) will be stored in the tableExists variable, and this variable will be returned via addResult(tableExists) . The output will reflect whether the table exists (True) or not (False).
