Thanks I did read that when looking into EXECUTE, which I'd rather not use. As I said, I would rather not use plpgsql if possible. All I want to do is 1) pass in some variables, 2) reference them, and 3) have a working query which 4) supports SELECTs, and lastly 5) isn't plpgsql but pg_native syntax. --- "A.
