Hello!! I have a question, I am working on a big table that I need to turn into little tables using customernumber a lot of times the customernumber has no movements, the table appears with zero rows, so I want to tell the SELECT I use to not create the table if its zero rows, this is how I have it right now 
CREATE TABLE $tableNameexpt SELECT * FROM final_exp WHERE pat = $row[0
+]

the last part is like that because I am programming in perl, when run it creates these table with zero rows, how can I avoid them? 
my $sthexpt = $dbhexpt->prepare("SELECT DISTINCT PAT FROM xpatentes");
  $sthexpt->execute();
  # Just print the values of 'pat' from the patentes table.
  while ( (my @row) = $sthexpt->fetchrow_array() ) {
    print "El nombre del proximo archivo ... E$row[0]\n";
  }
 $sthexpt->execute();  # we've looped through all of the query results
+ above so

  #--
  # Create the new tables.
  #
  while ( (my @row) = $sthexpt->fetchrow_array() ) {
    my $tableNameexpt =  "E" . $row[0];  # table names can not begin w
+ith a digit

    print "Creando tabla " . $tableNameexpt . "\n";

    my $a_sthexpt = $dbhexpt->prepare("CREATE TABLE  TableNameexpt SEL
+ECT * FROM final_exp WHERE pat = $row[0]");

    $a_sthexpt->execute();

  }
