Could someone please tell me the correct syntax for the following problem in
plpgsql:
The following expression code sample works but now (for example) I'd like to
subsitute
the variables $1 and $2 for the numbers 0 and 2 in the following
expression:
INSERT INTO rtest(xz,yz,xy)
VALUES ( \'(0,2), (1,3)\', \'(1,2), (2,3)\', \'(0,1), (1,2)\');
What's the correct way of represinting the strings?
A complete code example is below. It's to do with the usage of R-tree
indexing.
