Structuring an SQL program

I have a number of queries which are to perform 50+ validations on a database. Some are simple and are one liners, for example whether a primary key is present on a table. Others are more complex and require procedural programming to accomplish, such as whether a column exists which has NULL-values only. All are implemented in pure SQL and have been tested on MySQL 5.5 only so far.

I was wondering if there is a best practice how to program this. I want a single command that performs all validations in sequence. Do I put all code in a single sql-file? Or is it better to have one main file which has the one liners in it and then all the procedural programs in a separate file? Or one main file and the procedural programs in their own files?

DROP 
LANGUAGE(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation DROP LANGUAGE(7) NAME
DROP_LANGUAGE - remove a procedural language SYNOPSIS
DROP [ PROCEDURAL ] LANGUAGE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ] DESCRIPTION
DROP LANGUAGE removes the definition of a previously registered procedural language. You must be a superuser or the owner of the language to use DROP LANGUAGE. Note As of PostgreSQL 9.1, most procedural languages have been made into "extensions", and should therefore be removed with DROP EXTENSION (DROP_EXTENSION(7)) not DROP LANGUAGE. PARAMETERS
IF EXISTS Do not throw an error if the language does not exist. A notice is issued in this case. name The name of an existing procedural language. For backward compatibility, the name can be enclosed by single quotes. CASCADE Automatically drop objects that depend on the language (such as functions in the language). RESTRICT Refuse to drop the language if any objects depend on it. This is the default. EXAMPLES
This command removes the procedural language plsample: DROP LANGUAGE plsample; COMPATIBILITY
There is no DROP LANGUAGE statement in the SQL standard. SEE ALSO
