Folks, This is driving me crazy...I'm sure it's possible but that I am getting the #quotes wrong in some way... I keep getting unterminated string errors...now matter how many quotes I use.
I have a FN that I want to loop through all views and populate a table with a count(*) from each views. To do it I'm doing a LOOP around all views...something like: FOR r_rec IN SELECT viewname from pg_views LOOP sql_string := 'INSERT INTO temp_table ( view_name, row_count ) SELECT ''' || r_rec.viewname || ''', count(*) FROM ' || r_rec.viewname || ' ; ' ; EXEC sql_string ; END LOOP ; END ; Building that sql_string is the problem.
