Have you created a file in your dbconf folder for your preorders table?

I don't think that you can use the IC [if] with a table if it is not
defined inside dbconf.

I could be wrong, but try creating an entry inside dbconf using any of
the existing files in that directory as a guide.

Then restart IC and try running the [if] statement again.
