Hi All

Im trying to assign the value of a dynamic variable, to a variable.
How is this done in PostgresQL. Is this allowed in Postgres Procedural Language

Here is my attempt.

variable1:= quote_ident('variable_'||quote_literal(year));

Where the variable is called
variable_2004
where name, represents the year

RESULT WANTED:  variable1 gets assigned the value of variable_2004.

Any help is appreciated.Thanks

Kind Regards,
Shaun Clements
