Hi,

I have been having some trouble with plsql stored procs in postgres in  =

that I can
make a table name a variable in the stored proc.  Is there some special =
 =

way to make this happen that I am unaware of?

For example, I want to do something like:

stored_proc(integer,varchar)

SELECT table_name.id
    FROM table_name $2
   WHERE table_name.id=3D$1

but I get an error about the $2 argument being no good.

Does anyone know how I can deal with this?

Thanks,
Cere
