Re: Substitute Variable in select query

[harish supare <harish.supare@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks for the reply David.

In case of Colon I need to set the variable first, my requirement is my select query should prompt for the input.

Hi Team,

Would like to know what the substitute/input variable available in psql.

Oracle we use &  - select a, b , c from table where a like &a;

Is there an alternative in psql?

Colon - read the documentation, psql section, for the exact syntax.
