 On version 4.2-RC2, I am using


 {{{
 $wpdb->get_col( "SHOW TABLES LIKE ..." )

 }}}

 to check for the existence of a table.

 For a non existent table this outputs the message


 {{{
 WordPress database error Table '...' doesn't exist for query SHOW FULL
 COLUMNS FROM ...
 }}}


 Since, this a test for the existence of a table it is valid that the table
 doesn't exists. This same code works in the current version 4.1.1.
