I am a Postgres Newbie and looking for some help on how I can achieve to have
null in child table column with "timestamp with time zone" when using
EXECUTE format insert sql.I have a range partitioned table by day and want
to insert data into the current day's partition. Trigger is available on the
master table based on which the data would be directed to current day's
partition. But I want to directly insert data into the child table rather
than using trigger to have it done.We have a table which maintains the child
table names along with its low and high date values.Below is kind of what I
am doing --
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_tab_func (BIGINT, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE)RETURNS booleanAS $BODY$DECLARE  _id ALIAS FOR $1; 
_time ALIAS for $2;  _parttime ALIAS for $3;  _partition text;  _z
RECORD;BEGIN  SELECT child_table_name into STRICT _partition from
child_tables where parent_table_name='test_tab' and part_low=_parttime;  FOR
_z IN SELECT table_id,                   analyzed_on              FROM
test_tab             WHERE schemaname = 'app' LOOP       EXECUTE
format('INSERT INTO dev.%s (id,                                           
time,                                            table_id,                                           
analyzed_on)                                             VALUES ('||_id|||',                                                    
'''||_time ||''',                                                    
'||_z.table_id||',                                                    
'||_z.analyzed_on||')',_partition);  END LOOP;  RETURN true;END;$BODY$  
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
The table "test_tab" has few rows with analyzed_on as null. When I run the
function I get the below errorERROR:  query string argument of EXECUTE is
null.I way which I know is using COALESCE. But how do I achieve null value
in my child table using COALESCE. I am not able to figure it out.
