Re: How to pass parameters into a sql script ?

[Vyacheslav Kalinin <vka@xxxxxxxx>]

Looks like quoting issue.
Try this one:

$ psql -d us_audit -e -1 -v p_date=\'20081023\' -f chk_param.sql 
select count(*) from prod_debit_payments_unapplied where
when_received = (select :p_date::char(8));

or even

select count(*) from prod_debit_payments_unapplied where
when_received =  :p_date;

We are unable to pass parameters into any sql script. Could anyone look at the test below and give any suggestions? PostgreSQL version is 8.2.7, running on Linux.

 

Test Script

$ cat chk_param.sql

select ''''||:p_date::char(8)||'''';

select count(*) from prod_debit_payments_unapplied where when_received = (select ''''||:p_date::char(8)||'''');

select count(*) from prod_debit_payments_unapplied where when_received = '20081023';
