I tried but couldn't find an answer if this is possible in psql.

Create a file named test.sql
        select * from mytable where id = ? (or use $1, $2...)
Then in psql do
        \i test.sql 337

to achieve the same effect "select * from mytable where id=337"

as I would in perl
        $sth = $dbh -> prepare ("insert into mytable values (?, ?, ?)")

Is writing a function the only way? Is there another way that can be done
without writing a function?

Thanks,
Ben Kim
