maybe_create_table( string $table_name, string $create_ddl )
Creates a table in the database if it doesn’t already exist.
Description Description
This method checks for an existing database and creates a new one if it’s not already present. It doesn’t rely on MySQL’s "IF NOT EXISTS" statement, but chooses to query all tables first and then run the SQL statement creating the table.
Parameters Parameters
- $table_name
-
(string) (Required) Database table name to create.
- $create_ddl
-
(string) (Required) SQL statement to create table.
Return Return
(bool) If table already exists or was created by function.
