Re: What about SELECT INTO in EXECUTE

I guess one solution is to insert into a temporary table in the EXECUTE
statement...
Then execute a SQL query (without EXECUTE) to get the value into the
variable.
I use to do like that with MS SQL Server as there is no other solution...

Hope it helps

but its not SQL error but just in plpgsql ,
SELECT INTO same_var sth from table;
I can not write EXECUTE ''SELECT INTO same_var sth from table;'';
because SELECT INTO not work with EXECUTE , so what can i do else ?
