Using function like where clause

От

Hello,

I have 2 questions.
1) Can I use a function that will return a string in a where clause like
bellow?

select *
from table
where my_function_making_where()
          and another_field = 'another_think'

2) Can I use a function that will return a string to return the list of
columns that I want to show like below?

select my_function_making_list_of_columns()
from table
where field_test = 'mydatum'

Thanks

Look up the quote_ident() function in the docs, you'll likely need
that for both cases.

not in sql. you can in pl/pgsql.
