I want to do something like this:
\set tmp :acct 'a value'
\i query.sql
where query.sql looks like this:
select sum(amount), dr_acct from ledger where dr_acct = :acct
group by dr_acct;
select sum(amount), cr_acct from ledger where cr_acct = :acct
group by cr_acct;
select
(select sum(amount) from ledger where dr_acct = :acct )
- (select sum(amount) from ledger where cr_acct = :acct );
However, this is what I get:
psql:pnc.sql:1: ERROR: column "a value" does not exist
Is there a different way I should be doing this? (I'm used to
Oracle's &1...&n parameters.)
