Thanks for your help but I still have a small problem. I'm try to do as you suggested and use prepare/execute but I'm doing something silly.

I'm using:

PREPARE my_prep1(name) AS SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION $1;

and get the error message:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "set" at character 27

I have tried many variations on this theme but have no luck. Suggestions?

Thanks

Colin

You'll need to use EXECUTE to do this.  Utility statements in general
aren't prepared to deal with parameters.
