Re: plpgsql - Insert from a record variable?

Phil> execute ''column_values :=
Phil>  column_values || quote_literal(r.'' || cr.column_name || '')'';

basic> FOR rec IN EXECUTE
basic>   ''select column_values || quote_literal(r.'' ||
basic>   cr.column_name || '') alias column_values''; LOOP
basic>      column_values := rec.column_values;

I think your code will try to execute a query like this:

select column_values || quote_literal(r.something) alias column_values

This will fail because column_values and r are both plpgsql variables, and so are not visible to the SQL interpreter.

Any other suggestions?
