So to recap I'm creating a temp table fine. I'm EXCUTING an insert into the temp table fine. Then I cannot select from the table in the form:

SELECT INTO int1 count(distinct(value)) from TEMP1;

The following creates a table, populates it and selects from it using an EXECUTE. Does that help?


BEGIN;

CREATE TABLE exectest (a integer, b text, PRIMARY KEY (a));
COPY exectest FROM stdin;
1   aaa
2   bbb
3   ccc
\.

CREATE FUNCTION demo_exec_fn() RETURNS boolean AS '
DECLARE
    r     RECORD;
BEGIN
    FOR r IN EXECUTE ''SELECT * FROM exectest''
    LOOP
        RAISE NOTICE ''a=%, b=%'', r.a, r.b;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN true;
END
' LANGUAGE plpgsql;

SELECT demo_exec_fn();

COMMIT;
