Thanks Matteo for your answer...
but.. this is only a usecase... i'm currently using thing like this in
a php app,
so i'm doing kind of a as
select * from test where a = test_immutable(?);
then
execute('var');
unfortunately there, i can't to an execute(test_immutable('var'))
for now i've avoid using bind for those queries but i didn't like it....
Cheers,
Brice
