[SOLVED] Will the query 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table_name' raise an error if the table exists?

Question

Currently I'm developing a database app. I want to ensure that the table in user's database exists. If there is no table, I want to create it automatically. Will the query 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS' work?
Info : I need clarification if the table exists, so I need an exception raised.

Answer 1

table creation queries will fail if the table already exists.

Answer 2

and yes it should work
