Thanks for your help but I still have a small problem. I'm try to do as you
suggested and use prepare/execute but I'm doing something silly.
I'm using:
PREPARE my_prep1(name) AS SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION $1;
and get the error message:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "set" at character 27
I have tried many variations on this theme but have no luck. Suggestions?
Thanks
Colin
