Greetings,

I'm looking to obtain the name of a column that is passed to a function,
similar to xmlforest. Suggestions?

This is going to require some more information.

1) What language is the function written in?

2) Trigger function or not?

3) A sample of the code?


Regards,


Rhys



Is this along the right line(s)?


create or replace function f(cname text) returns table(c text)
as
$$
declare
  v text;
begin
  select 'hello' into v;
  raise notice 'Column  name is %', v;
  execute 'select ' || v || ' as ' || cname;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
