PostgreSQL uses a :colon syntax for parameterizing SQL commands with command line variables.
create-database.sql: CREATE DATABASE :db; Usage: $ psql -f create-database.sql -v db=test However, pgsanity/ecpg rejects these. $ pgsanity create-database.sql line 1: ERROR: syntax error at or near ":db" Is there a flag I can give to ecpg to ignore input parameters? Is there a patch we could make to ecpg to accept input parameters? Is there another way to write my input parameters to work around this error? -- Cheers, Andrew Pennebaker www.yellosoft.us
