Hi, Can I use SQL queries within a pulumi deployment project to check for the existence of a record, and create it if it doesn't exist?

You can do pretty much anything in your Pulumi program. Make sure this code is idempotent because it will run on any preview/update.

To be clear, you’d use some non-Pulumi library for SQL queries and record creation
