I still cannot pass tablename, what is wrong?
Is this the right way?
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test ( t1 text,t2 text ) RETURNS numeric AS $$
declare temp1 text;
declare temp2 text;
declare cmd text;
declare t2row RECORD;
begin
temp1=t1;
temp2=t2;
cmd='select product, (case when sum(pd) <> 0 then sum(gd)/sum(pd)*100 else 0 end ) as gppp
from ' temp1 ' as dummy group by dummy.product,dummy.totalclaimsgroup,dummy.avgmems,dummy.months';
execute cmd into t2row
--After executing above, I need here to update table t1
end;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql
----------------

You're looking for EXECUTE:
