Probably you are thinking, so first parameter is name of column. But
this is wrong idea. You cannot parametrize column or table names. In
this case - first parameter will be constant expression - with null
value it returns all rows, with not null value - it returns no row.
If you wont to do filter query via some name you have to use dynamic sql:
create or replace function ssss(_name varchar)
returns setof test as $$
declare _r record;
begin
for _r in execute 'select * from test where ' || quote_ident(_name)
|| ' is null'
loop
return next r;
end loop;
return;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
