EXECUTE in a funtion to return a VIEW object ID - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi there,

I have tried many ideas to get this working but no luck.

Can some show me or explain what is happening

EXAMPLE

==========

I am trying to read to 2 text fields to combine them togther to form the name of a

VIEW.  example

   SELECT * FROM ( 'april'||'may') ;

I have tried the EXECUTE in a function to PREPARE a dynameic select call;

EXECUTE 'SELECT * FROM '

        || ‘select tablename.text_field1 from tablename’

        || ‘select tablename.text_field2 from tablename’;

If tablename.text_field1 = “May” and tablename.text_field2 = “Aprl”, this function only returns “MayApril” and not the columns and data that I expected.

What am I doing wrong here?

Has anyone done this before or have any ideas on how to do it ?

Thanks
