Had another idea. If you are looking for the highest numbered table below a
certain number then maybe this:
test(5432)aklaver=>\d name_test
Table "public.name_test"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+-------------------+-----------
fld_1 | character varying |
test(5432)aklaver=>SELECT * from name_test ;
fld_1
-----------------
tmp_staging0109
tmp_staging0108
tmp_staging1229
(3 rows)
test(5432)aklaver=>select fld_1 from name_test where fld_1 like 'tmp_staging%' and
fld_1< 'tmp_staging1230' order by fld_1 desc limit 1;
fld_1
-----------------
tmp_staging1229
