To give a better idea:

DO $$
DECLARE v_string text = 'raise notice ''%'', ''this could be sql with if statement...'';';
BEGIN
if 1=1 then
raise notice '%', ' first notice has been raised...';
end if;
EXECUTE v_string;--this fails
END;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;

I do not wish to create a function for each query I have.

Mmmmm.......

How do I execute dynamic sql that starts with an if statement.
I'm converting mssql code to pgsql.

I think EXECUTE used like this is available only in a function:

  create or replace function my_function()
  returns void
  as
  $$
  begin
    execute ....
  end;
  $$
  language plpgsql;

In "ordinary" SQL, EXECUTE executes a prepared statement.
