I am trying to run a query in plperl that uses a Perl variable from the
same function.
Here is the code snippet:
my $stmt = qq("SELECT employee_key from employee where id = '$user' ;");
elog( NOTICE, "stmt = $stmt" );
my $rv3 = spi_exec_query('$stmt');
Here is the runtime output:
NOTICE: stmt = "SELECT employee_key from employee where id = 'stan' ;"
ERROR: syntax error at or near "$" at line 22.
As you can see, the statement seems correctly formatted, right?
What am I doing wrong here?
