Subject: Table name as a variable in SELECT query
Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2010 07:46:38 -0500

Hi,
please advise is possible in SELECT query use variable as a table name?

I would like to have  for example something like:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_name (tb varchar) RETURNS int AS  $$

DECLARE 

                 ......

BEGIN
		SELECT * FROM $1;
		........

Will be grateful for any idea about.

 

Best regards
            Andrey
