Hi,
I have a function(stored procedure) in the database. I need to pass the table name which is a variable. How do i do that?
Example :
I have 1st table : table name - cities
location | city
(text) | (text)
---------------------
1 bangalore
2 mangalore
Now from this table depending upon location 1 or 2, I need to select the particular city and each city is another table for me which contains different parameters like, population, num of educated ppl, and num of schools.
So, from this selected city, I need to select data from population column.
This needs to be done in stored procedures in pgsql and so, I would need a single query for this. If any one knows, please help me out.

I'm implementig a java web application using MySQL as database.
The main function of the application is basically to redistribuite

Hello,
I have following problem:
A user "xy" shouldn't have any rights to a table,
but needs data from the content of the table.
My idea was to setup a PL/PGSQL procedure to fetch the
data from the table, so that the user only is allowed to
access the procedure. I also tried using a SQL function,
but this doesn't work, too.
Working with views may be a solution - or are e.g. cursors

Hiya,
Not had much experience with tiggers under postgres but am liking them so
far.
My problem is this. I am writing an updates system, postgres holds the
master copy of the database, any changes made to this are logged in an
updates table which is monitored by a daemon, which if any updates are
spotted propigates them to the remote servers.
I have written an initial trigger that spots any changes made to the

Hi,
I'm sure this has been asked before, but my searches haven't come up
with an example.
I'm writing a generic trigger function called from different tables in
plpgsql that needs to get the value of the primary key column from OLD.
I can find out the pkey column name by querying the system tables, but
the only way I've found of getting the value of that column is by

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
