Hi-
I'm a newbie at postgresql and was working on
sorting by category. What my question is, how do you
sort by category when using a variable. For instance,
you can sort by name in perl by doing:
$sqh = $dbh->prepare(q{select name from company order
by name;});
$sqh->execute();
but what if you have a variable set like:
$sort_selection = name;
How do you sort by the variable?
For instance you cannot do:
$sqh = $dbh->prepare(q{select name from company order
by ?;});
$sqh->execute($sort_selection);
OR
$sqh = $dbh->prepare(q{select name from company order
by $sort_selection;});
$sqh->execute();
If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again!
