Hello
what is relation between t1 and t3 and t2 and t3? Which row from t3
specifies value? You cannot do it in plain SQL. SQL is well for set
operations. You can use plpgsql and SRF function.
-- table1 and table2 have to have same structure
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION output_tab(date)
RETURNS SETOF table1 AS $$
DECLARE t1 table1; t2 table2;
BEGIN
IF $1 = 'xxxx' THEN
FOR t1 IN SELECT * FROM table1 LOOP
RETURN NEXT t1;
END LOOP;
ELSE
FOR t2 IN SELECT * FROM table1 LOOP
RETURN NEXT t2;
END LOOP;
END IF;
RETURN;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
and then
SELECT * FROM output_tab('xxxxx');
