Hi:
I want to do something like this.....
create or replace function foo(varchar, varchar) returns integer as $$
declare
user_attrib alias for $1;
attrib_val alias for $2;
rec record;
begin
for rec in
select name from people_table where user_attrib = attrib_value
loop
insert into my_temp_table (attrib, value, name) values
(user_attrib, attrib_value, rec.name);
end loop;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
As you can see, the select statement needs to be dynamic in that the
column name is stored in a variable.
Can this be done?
Thanks
