Обсуждение: CREATE TABLE AS ... EXECUTE

Hackers,

Is there a way to create a table from a prepared statement?  CREATE TABLE AS
explicitly says you have to use a SELECT statement, and the SELECT INTO
syntax doesn't seem to allow the use of a prepared statement either.  I
don't see a way to use the prepared statement as a function nor as a "table"
(SELECT ... FROM EXECUTE)

Of course, the prepared statement is a SELECT statement.

Am I missing something, or it is supposed to be like this?  I don't _need_
this (I can use a regular SQL function), but...

IIRC there is an EXECUTE INTO.

There's EXECUTE INTO, but when I find time I will change it to CREATE
TABLE AS ... EXECUTE, because we don't really like SELECT INTO, so EXECUTE
INTO doesn't seem the right solution.
