Check if a database exists

[jfgeli]

Hi there,

I am creating a routine to update a database. However, I want the routine to check if the database exists first. If the database exists, it will need to create it and if the database does not exist, only to update its content. My problem is that I do not know how to test before hand if the database already exists. I would be grateful to any suggestion.

Cheers,

Fede

I think the only thing you can do is use the @fileexist function to check for existence of the database file.

Works like a charm. Many thanks
