I do not know wether I understand it right or not: Do you try
to perform a sql script with the java application IzPack?
This cannot work because IzPack is not a SQL-Interpreter. Use one,
may be called as external process or so. In process is not so easy...

Do you mean in IzPanels?
In principle yes. If you write your own panels you can create 
class objects in panelActivate or in isValidated.
As example look in the newest version of JDKPathPanel.
In panelActivate it looks into Windows registry (via a native
method of an additional class) to get a default path and 
executes java in the founded path to verify the given
version ranges.
If it is a time consumed process which need a progress bar it
will be more complicated. You need more than one thread and
you have to manipulate enable state of the button. See
InstallPanel as example.
