This mimics CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS behavior. We add `db.create_table(..., exist_ok=True)` parameter. By default it is set to False, so trying to create a table with the same name will raise an exception. If set to True, then it only opens the table if it already exists. If you pass in a schema, it will be checked against the existing table to make sure you get what you want. If you pass in data, it will NOT be added to the existing table.
