Speaking of concatenation...
Something I find sorely missing in plpgsql is the ability to put
variables inside of a string, ie:
DECLARE
v_table text := ...
v_sql text;
BEGIN
v_sql := "SELECT * FROM $v_table";
Of course, I'm assuming that if it was easy to do that it would be
done already... but I thought I'd just throw it out there.
Then use a language that supports variable interpolation in
strings, like plperl, plpythonu, plruby .... instead of plpgsql.
Which makes executing SQL much, much harder.
At least if we get sprintf dealing with strings might become a bit
easier...
