The pgsql function is compiled and wouldn't know how to handle a table
name as a variable.
If you rewrite the SQL to use the 'EXECUTE' statement I think you could
do this, something along the lines of (untested):
EXECUTE ''INSERT INTO '' || quote_ident(tmplist) || '' (SELECT * FROM
links WHE
Ben,

I have a table that I created that implements a linked list. I am not an
expert SQL developer and was wondering if there are known ways to traverse
the linked lists. The table contains many linked lists based upon the head
of the list and I need to extract all of the nodes that make up a list.
Wow. This is great feedback. As for more than two columns.. I don't think I
have more than two nullable columns. Often I have a three or four column
constraint where only one or two of them are nullable. I've never used
constraints or indexes with where clauses. I'll have to play with this a bit
