I dont think you'll find a common syntax between SQL server and my SQL. I mean, you can check if the table exsits on SQL Server using something like:

if exists(select * from sys.objects where name like 'table_name')

if (sql_server) then
   if exists(select * from sys.objects where name like 'table_name')
else --mySQl
   --execute the mysql script
