Because the backends main parser doesn't allow a parameter in
place of an identifier. PL/pgSQL uses parameters in SPI
queries to substitute local variables into queries.
In 7.1 there is a new "EXEC <string expr>" command in
PL/pgSQL. If you succeed in building a complete (correctly
quoted) querystring for the operation, then you could use
that for a while.
I know that there are some problems with PL/pgSQL. I plan a
complete rewrite when other features in the core DB system
are available.
