I can't figure out the correct syntax...
I have this, but it just keeps complaining about the IF
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables where table_name = 'post_codes')
THEN
CREATE TABLE post_codes
(
area character varying(10) NOT NULL,
district character varying(10) NOT NULL,
sector character varying(10) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT post_codes_pkey PRIMARY KEY (area, district, sector)
)
WITH (
OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE post_codes OWNER TO postgres;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
ERROR: syntax error at or near "IF"
LINE 1: IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tab...
^
********** Error **********
ERROR: syntax error at or near "IF"

How should this be written ?
Thanks, Jen
