Are you trying to accomplish this in a program, a script or from the command line?
If you are using a program, what language are you using? If you are using a script, what platform and shell are you using? (For example, Linux with the bash shell or Windows.) If you are using the command line, I'm pretty sure you can't put ifs around your SQL.
