Subject: Table-name as parameter to plpgsql
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 23:35:16 +0200
Message-ID: <200707302335.16951.andreak@officenet.no> (raw)
The following function failes to compile:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_func(p_table_name VARCHAR) RETURNS VOID AS $$
BEGIN
INSERT INTO p_table_name(some_field) VALUES('some_value');
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Gives:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "$1"
LINE 1: INSERT INTO $1 (some_field) VALUES('some_value')
Any hints on how to use function-parameters as table-names like I'm trying to
above?
