i create a little stored procedure using plpgsql from pgaccess. function
input is table name where the function will simply iterate along each record
in the table and raise notice for each of them.

when i run this function from shell command using : select
browse_table('sex'), the function error with error message 'ERROR:  parser:
parse error at or near "$1"'. As i concern, this error came from the line i
mark because the function can't receive variable 'table_name' to generate
query.

i'm new here, so can some body help me, please....

the source code is below.
===========================================================
DECLARE
    table_name ALIAS for $1;
    each_row RECORD;
BEGIN
    FOR each_row IN select * from table_name LOOP     ==> i believe this's an
error source
        raise notice 'row';
    END LOOP;
END;
===========================================================
function description :
function name : browse_table
returns      : bpchar
parameters      : bpchar
language      : plpgsql
