Postgres offers several methods. I'll assume you're running Linux/bash, if not try and convert the following to whatever OS/shell you're using:
# Bash script 1 using a here document:
tabname='mytab'
tabcol='username'
psql <dbname> <<EOF
select $tabcol from $tabname;
EOF!
# Bash script 2 - using echo:
tabname='mytab'
tabcol='username'
echo "select $tabcol from $tabname" | psql <dbname>
There are many variations on these examples, hope this helps...

| hi,
i know this is silly, but i can't find the way...
with mssql i can do this:
declare @my_var varchar(20) ;
set @my_var = 'something' ;
select @my_var ;
with mysql it's even easier:
set @my_var = 'something' ;
select @my_var ;
but, with postgre ? i don't know how to do that...
