Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Variable column name

In response to "Bob Pawley" <rjpaw...@shaw.ca>:

I want to add information to multiple columns (20 – 40) by employing a loop. Each pass of the loop will populate one column with an array.

I have tried and I have read that variables can not be used to control column names.

Is there a means of working around this restriction other than creating 20 to 40 hard coded statements??

You can generate dynamic SQL statements with plpgsql.

Would it be possible for you to point me to an example??
