Re: Need help with this Function. I'm getting an error

ok, so that's my bad. It was a typo not having the alias. So let me back up
and explain what I really want to do:
I have a bunch of different databases say db1, db2 ....dbn
I need to dblink to views (that I create) in each of these databases to
another database say meta_db which contains meta data about each of db1,
db2,...dbn while cross joining the meta data to each of the views.
Next I need to union all the cross joins. For this I am trying to write a
function(I'm able to do all this manually with a query, but when I try using
the query it in a function I run into problems). When there is only one
database say db1 I don't need to do a union but when there are more than one
databases say db1 and db23 then I need to do the union, for this I have
tried to use the per_inventory_query and outer_query without success.

1)Is there a better way to write the union part of the query in the function
than the way I am doing?
2) what's the best way to put the following query in quotes so I can assign
it to per_inventory_query

I would like to be able to pass the id  and the db1 as variables unlike the
