Pavel, Per your suggestion I modified one line below BEGIN to look like this: EXECUTE 'SELECT *, $1, now() INTO "schema_1".'||"whoami"||' FROM "schema_2".'||"whoami"||' where created_dt between $2 and $3;' However, it is still giving me the same syntax error as before. I must be missing something here though. Thanks for the suggestion, however.
