1) Why not use "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXITS .." ? I also don't see the need of two tables. Just make one, and put PRIMARY KEY (mac). This means MACs will be unique.

2) You can try to insert the data and catch the exception when a duplicate key is found:
try:
cur.execute("INSERT INTO data (mac,..) VALUES ('newmacaddress',..)
except IntegrityError:
# Do something when the MAC was already in the table
else:
# Do something when the MAC was newly inserted

Sorry for the late reply, but I hope it helps anyways.
