Re: Concatenate table name in Pl/Pgsql

Final Fix :

 execute 'insert into tmp'||abc||  ' select  $1.*' using new; 

Thanks

Passing each column seems not good because if column additon/deletion happens in future , we also need to change function as well. I think below will work :-


test=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tmp_trigger_function()

test$# abc varchar;
test$# BEGIN
test$# select to_char(NEW.a::timestamp,'yyyymmdd') into abc ;

test$# RETURN NULL;
test$# END;
test$# $$

But don't understand why it is taking NEW as table. Clearly shows table name is concatenated but data insertion fails :(

Thanks

You'll need to specify each column explicitly if there's more than one.
