Sorry I don't get it. How can I use USING safely when the substitution involves a table name? The examples I've seen just involve column values. Where is the corresponding fine manual page? Still I don't get how USING could make safer plpgsql functions... well... I'm going to check some prejudices I have on pg functions firts... I thought that if you passed eg. text to create or replace function typetest(a int) returns text as $$ begin raise notice 'is this an int? %', a; -- don't do anything else with a and calling select * from typetest('tonno'); was going to raise an error anyway. So somehow I find the example here http://okbob.blogspot.com/2008/06/execute-using-feature-in-postgresql-84.html not really helpful in understanding what's going on. Maybe an example with text comparing a version using quote_literal and one using USING could be clearer... or am I completely missing the point? far from an optimal solution I've built a "client side" array of permitted table, key to dynamically build the query on the client side. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
