Thread: Dynamic PL/pgSQL

I plan to run an SQL script - using JDBC - to initialize a database.
Right now I have the need to execute serveral statements only under
certain conditions.

for example: IF NOT EXISTS (      SELECT 1 FROM pg_catalog.pg_user WHERE ussername = 'Jon' ) THEN   CREATE USER 'Jon';
ENDIF;
 

Within a PL/pgSQL function this would be easy, but I need to store the
complete initialization script in a text file and execute it as a whole.
Is there any way to solve this? Any suggestions are welcome
TIA

In your scritp, put a CREATE FUNCTION and then call it and drop it ;)
