Running CA only when SQL Catalog WAS absent?

I need to run a Custom Action that basically executes an external program that fills a database.

For the CA to know the connection, I use the SQL Login dialog.

However, it is possible that the database already exists or that it does not exist. In case it does not exist, I need it to be created and later filled. If it already exists, the CA must not run.

For the database to be automatically created, I checked the "Create catalog if absent" checkbox.

How can the CA know that the catalog actually HAS been absent?

If you can change the external program, you can run the CA everytime and let the external program decide to fill the database or not.
