title: In RethinkDB, what is the easiest way to check if a database or a table exists?
body: <p>One way I know I can do it is by listing through<code>dbList()</code> and <code>tableList()</code> and then looking for what I want in the results.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an easier way?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>My goal is to create a table in case it doesn't exist.</p>
