Hi all,

I have a problem with quotes which I can't find a solution.

Inside a query string I have another query string; I used for the later
double quotes, but it is still complaining

The problem is with the function pgr_drivingdistance (from pgrouting
extension).

The code is the following:

-----------------------------------------------------
DO $$
DECLARE
     i integer;
BEGIN
FOR i IN (select nn from numeros)
LOOP
EXECUTE
'create table contagio' || i || ' as
SELECT *
  FROM pgr_drivingdistance("
       SELECT gid AS id,
           source,
           target,
           tempo::float8 AS cost
       FROM lisboa",
       ' || i || ' ,
       30,
       false,
       false)
';
END LOOP;
END;
$$;


ERROR:  column "
       SELECT gid AS id,
           source,
           target,
   " does not exist
LINE 3:  FROM pgr_drivingdistance("
                                   ^
QUERY:  create table contagio18 as
SELECT *
  FROM pgr_drivingdistance("
       SELECT gid AS id,
           source,
           target,
           tempo::float8 AS cost
       FROM lisboa",
       18 ,
       30,
       false,
       false)


I suspect the solution is probably simple; yet, I can't get i

I think you need two single quotes around the embedded sql string. What is happening is that Postgres is seeing the sql string as an identifier and is looking for a column of that name.

By way of example:

DO $$


BEGIN
RAISE NOTICE 'test is "good"';
END;
$$
language plpgsql;
NOTICE: test is "good"

DO


DO $$




BEGIN

RAISE NOTICE 'test is ''good''';

END;

$$

language plpgsql;

NOTICE: test is 'good'

DO

Thanks in advance for any help.

António
