APparently, from "man psql", -c can do only one thing at a time. But you could
do this with 2-3 commands (or 1 if you want to wrap the 2 up in a shell script
or something). Here's an example...
The text file that creates the script....
create or replace function trythis(varchar) returns varchar as $$
declare aname varchar(128);
begin
select name into aname from templates limit 1;
if not found then raise notice 'nuthin found'; end if;
aname := aname||'---'||$1;
return aname;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
How to run it...
psql --dbname mydb -c "\i create_try.sql;"
psql --dbname mydb -c "select trythis('foo');"
psql --dbname mydb -c "drop function trythis(varchar);"

Of course. Start psql and type:
\i /path/to/your/script.sql
