Re: dynamic table names

david, you're right. i didn't realize it had to be executed inside a function so now i'm trying this:

-- create function
create or replace function get_tables(sname varchar) returns record as $$
    select tablename from pg_tables where schemaname = $1;
$$ language 'plpgsql';

-- query tables where column 'fname' = 'john'
select * from get_tables('myschema') where fname = 'john';

any help? wishing for a "select * from *..." :)

thanks, jzs
