Is there a way to use a variable as the name of a table or column in plpgsql?
AIUI, you need to use EXECUTE and build the query string yourself.http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/plpgsql- statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN
Take a look at the quote_ident function as well: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/functions-string.html Hope this helps you get started. Michael Glaesemann grzm seespotcode net
