In a function, I have a SELECT query in a string, for example:
sql='SELECT * FROM A'
I want to execute sql output result of: SELECT * FROM A
How can I execute the string sql in PostgreSQL?
Inside a function use EXECUTE.

below one works fine in postgres 8.4
UDBI=> PREPARE query as select 1 as a;

UDBI=> PREPARE query
UDBI=> EXECUTE query;

Equivalence of from dual in PostgreSQL
(5 answers)
Closed 7 months ago.
I'm trying to convert Oracle to PostgreSQL. While converting I'm getting error like
relation "dual" does not exist .
EXECUTE 'SELECT DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE*(POWER(10,6)) FROM DUAL'
please help me to solve this error.
Dual is a dummy table specific for oracle. In PostgreSQL you can either just use
SELECT random()*power( 10, 6 );
or create your own dual table if you want to keep the dual. (and insert 1 row in it)
You can create a view named dual like:
CREATE VIEW public.dual AS SELECT 'X'::varchar AS dummy;

SELECT *
FROM schema.e_employee_table

case2:
SELECT *
FROM schema.e_employee_table
WHERE "FK_EMPLOYEE"=100;
when i query the above one i got the query results
So can someone explain do we need to put our column name inside "",is it the syntax. If so where it is mentioned in the official documentation.
And I can also see the column name we are mentioning is case sensitive.

How to find a table having a specific column in postgresql
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I want to search for a particular variable name in ‘PostgreSQL’ database. Similar to the following ‘Teradata’ query
Select TableName, ColumnName from
DBC.Columns
Where ColumnName like (‘%profile%’)
Is there a similar query in PostgreSQL?
Postgres documentation
SELECT table_name,column_name
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE column_name like '%profile%'

Populate Postgres database with numbers 1-1000?
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a single table with a single column called id as shown below. I need to populate the table with numbers 1-1000, how can I do that with the scripting?
Use generate_series to this:
--Without column declaration
INSERT INTO "MyTable" SELECT generate_series(1, 1000);
--With column declaration
INSERT INTO "MyTable"(id) SELECT generate_series(1, 1000);
