guys, have to use legacy 8.1.
i have 100,000 tables in a schema that need to be queried (optimizing this by combining them into one will have to wait). so my query goes like so: > execute 'select * from ' || tabname::regclass || ' where firstname = "john"' into e; but i am getting an error: > ERROR: syntax error at or near "'select * from '" at character 9 ? do someone have a stored procedure for this? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/aa44f4a30510071254p46064ca0vff639cd492b22...@mail.gmail.com http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5772699/postgresql-dynamic-table-access http://www.sql-workbench.net/ thanks, jzs
