Hi, <br />So, your question is not client side, <br />you want store a procedure in db(server side) can accept para
fromclient side. <br />I have not seen Pg has a functionality to do like store procedure or package like Oracle <br />(
maybeI don't know), so , I suggest that : <br />1 use embeded SQL <br />2. store query as a SQL in shell script(
becauseshell script can accept parameters) <br /> in shell , you can say: <br /> echo "select * from table1 where
row1=$1"|rshpg_server /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -U robt db <br /> (e.g . remote shell call, local is same) <br />3.
ifyou use bash shell, you can also use pgbash(<a
