CREATE DATABASE test IF NOT EXISTS. how can I do this in postgreSQL?
 
if you are using recent version you can do something like

BEGIN;
SAVEPOINT crt;
CREATE TABLE test (id integer);

if it generates error

ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT crt;

and continue

if there is no error

RELEASE SAVEPOINT crt

and continue

at the end COMMIT;
