Run init only if the table does not exist

[chunsli]

Is it possible to run init only if the tables / db in question do not exist?

Currently, no. Is there a reason you'd want this? What's the use case? Performance?

rethinkdb-init tries to ensure that everything you pass through it actually exists.

I guess he wants to run the script only for a base setup of the DB, after cloning the repo to a new server for instance.

I want to do the same, I guess I'll just make a script and that's it.
