Re: Execute SQL statements with 'context'/predefined variables

Oracle has a Context('varname') that returns the value of varname for
the session.  to best of my knowledge pg has nothing like this.

you could use rules to inject you constants as long as you were dealing
with known tables/views; you'd have to rewrite the rules each time the
constants changed; the rules are not session oriented - each sessions
would use the same rule.

(if you have not used pg rules imho you are in for a very pleasant
surprise.)
