Compare file of hostnames with table in MySQL DB

Hi all,

i have a list of files that contains some PC hostname, then i need to enumerate every hostname and check if there's a table with same name of the hosts in MySQL database XYZ.
I need this because have to decide automatically if i have to make a create table or a insert into an existent table.
Database XYZ is composed by a table for every hostname i have (inventory purposes), now i have a scheduled task that creates a inventory text file and put it in a directory. Let's go back to first phrases of this post, i wish to feed a list of inventory files into another file then compare entries from that file with a ls (or similar) of sql directory.
I know for sure that for every old hostname there's a table named like the hostname but in the script that execute the sql code i need to create a new table in case of new hostname that make himself the inventory, so...

Eg.

I have a file named "hostnames" which contain:

Code:
 
pc001
pc002
pc005
...

And a directory "sqldir" which contains sql tables of the machines:

Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 2010-02-15 17:17 pc001.frm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 2010-02-15 17:17 pc001.MYI
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 2010-02-15 17:17 pc001.MYD
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 2010-02-15 17:17 pc002.frm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 2010-02-15 17:17 pc002.MYI
..............

Now... Have anybody optimal way or suggests to read the file "hostnames" and then compare every hostname with the list of the directory "sqldir" and set a variable to make possible decide if it's the time to create a new table or append a existent one?

P.S. I have already the statement to create a new one or append, need only to put the right value for the variable which decide "right" or "left"... Smilie

Sorry if i have written too much but i'm not very confident in US/english and i fear to going misunderstood... Thx

NDB_DELETE_ALL(1)					       MySQL Database System						 NDB_DELETE_ALL(1)

NAME
ndb_delete_all - delete all rows from an NDB table SYNOPSIS
ndb_delete_all options DESCRIPTION
ndb_delete_all deletes all rows from the given NDB table. In some cases, this can be much faster than DELETE or even TRUNCATE TABLE. Usage ndb_delete_all -c connect_string tbl_name -d db_name This deletes all rows from the table named tbl_name in the database named db_name. It is exactly equivalent to executing TRUNCATE db_name.tbl_name in MySQL. The following table includes options that are specific to ndb_delete_all. Additional descriptions follow the table. For options common to most MySQL Cluster programs (including ndb_delete_all), see Options Common to MySQL Cluster Programs(1). Table 17.16. ndb_delete_all Options and Variables: MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2 +--------------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ |Format | Description | Added / Removed | +--------------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | | Name of the database in which the | | | --database=dbname, | table is found | All MySQL 5.5 based releases | | | | | | -d | | | +--------------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | | Perform the delete in a single | | | --transactional, | transaction (may run out of | All MySQL 5.5 based releases | | | operations) | | | -t | | | +--------------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | | Run tup scan | | | --tupscan | | All MySQL 5.5 based releases | +--------------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | | Run disk scan | | | --diskscan | | All MySQL 5.5 based releases | +--------------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ o --transactional, -t Use of this option causes the delete operation to be performed as a single transaction.
