Is there a (more or less) standard way to check not only whether a table named mytable exists, but also whether its schema is similar to what it should be? I'm experimenting with H2 database, and
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mytable (....)
statements apparently only check for the table´s name. I would expect to get an exception if there's a table with the given name, but different schema.
