EXIST?  Yeah I certainly have seen it before in the result of a mysqldump,

such a question, you don't know what you should be asking because the
context of EXIST is hardly ever needed, and if, if you know where to look
for it, that's more important than being able to reproduce it in from the
top of your head. It's like asking: "Do you know the syntax for ..." where
... is a rarely used function in PHP or any other language. It's like
requiring your employees to know every function of a language...

You're making an assumption about the situation. What if it was for a dba job or teaching advanced sql?

And 'exists' is not for mysqldump.
