Hello, I'd like to store some "special" record of a list of tables in a single table for later reimport:
e.g.: table t1 (a int, b int) table t2 (c int, t varchar) myTable (tsource text trecord text): t1, (1,2) t1, (3,18) t2, (1,'a b') Later I will be able to populate t1 or t2 tables using the content of myTable something like : EXECUTE 'insert into '||tsource||' values '||trecord FROM myTable. What I'm looking for is a "record escaping" function that would put the single quotes as required later on from a table. e.g. select somefunc(t2) from t2: somefunc text ------- 1,'a b' I could be happy too with such a function on anyelement: select escape(c)||','||escape(t) from t2 Is there some built in function I can use for this, or do I have to write it from scratch: create function myescape(a anyelement, OUT escaped text) as $$ .. select case when typeof(a) = then when typeof(a) = then when typeof(a) = then when typeof(a) = then .. regards, Marc Mamin
