You can't substitute variables for object names. If you need to construct dynamic query strings, use PL/pgSQL and EXECUTE: sql_qry := ''ALTER GROUP '' || $group || '' ADD USER '' || $user; EXECUTE sql_query; -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
