If you have multiple blocks of codes to be executed based on different conditions, you can use the "IF ... ELSIF" statement. Here is a sample script on IF statements:

DECLARE
  day VARCHAR2;
BEGIN
  day := 'SUNDAY';
  IF day = 'THURSDAY' THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Checking log files.');
  ELSIF day = 'TUESDAY' THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Helping developers.');
  ELSIF day = 'FRIDAY' THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Rebuild indexes.');
  ELSE
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Reading some papers.');
  END IF;
END;

This script should print this:

Reading some papers.
