Hi all.
I'm trying to use a psql variable in a DO-block, but it fails:

Any hints?
Don't do that. The body of a DO block is a string literal and psql won't and shouldn't mess with its contents. You'll need to use an actual function and pass in the psql variable data via an input parameter.
set_config(...)/current_setting(...) is another option to consider.
