Hi,
It looks as if psql has internal variables I am how
ever not able to get it to work in the way I want.
I need to store the current date and then delete all
elements from 3 tables based on the same date.
I tried to set the variable curtime:
set curtime now()
but I could not use it in a delete:
delete from table_a where ts_date < curtime;
If I just delete from table_a and then table_b and the
table_c I may risk deleting rows in table_b and
table_c which correspond to rows in table_a. (due to
the different times returned by now();
I would have used on delete cascade but I can not due
to the way that the data is generated for the tables.
Thanks for any help you may provide,
/Thor
