I am having trouble with the script below, would anyone have any suggestions or be able to help me out?

I am trying to do a case statement where I select to see if an ID exists or not and if it doesnt i want to run a .sql file but its not working properly.

select case when exists (select ID from VERSION where ID = '16.1')
then 'ID Exists'
else @script.sql
end
from dual;

Its not allowing me to run the @script.sql with the else statement...does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

A similar problem was discussed a few days ago; have a look.
