guys,
have to use legacy 8.1.
i have 100,000 tables in a schema that need to be queried (optimizing
this by combining them into one will have to wait).
so my query goes like so:
> execute 'select * from ' || tabname::regclass || ' where firstname =
"john"' into e;
but i am getting an error:
> ERROR: syntax error at or near "'select * from '" at character 9
? do someone have a stored procedure for this?
