What am I doing wrong here?


Putting a variable name into a single-quoted string and expecting it to
resolve to the contents of said variable instead of being treated as a
literal.

Please look at this.

Here is the code:

my $stmt = qq('SELECT employee_key from employee where id = $user ;');
elog( NOTICE, "stmt = $stmt" );
my $rv3 = spi_exec_query($stmt);

So you fixed the error in the third line i and others pointed out but then decided to introduce a new error by changing the first line...
