Hello

parameter - $n cannot be used on table name or column name position.
Some statements - DROP, VACUUM, ANALYZE doesn't support parameters
ever.

You have to use dynamic SQL in these cases.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo(tablename text, value text)
RETURNS void AS $$
BEGIN
  EXECUTE 'insert into ' || quote_ident(tablename) || ' VALUES($1)' USING value;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql
