Postgres cursor with dynamic Query

1
Hi

I need to write a Postgres function which executes a cursor. Query of this cursor however is created on the basis of parameters passed by user.


if(user_Input = 'a')
l_query := l_query||a_from_clause ||'where ename = '||user_Input
else
if(user_Input = 'b')
l_query := l_query||b_from_clause||'where ename = '||user_Input

OPEN csr FOR l_query;


How do we do it is postgres

Thanx in Advance.
