Re: how to store a query, that results in a table

Hi,
So, your question is not client side,
you want store a procedure in db(server side) can accept para from
client side.
I have not seen Pg has a functionality to do like store procedure or
package like Oracle
( maybe I don't know), so , I suggest that :
1 use embeded SQL
2. store query as a SQL in shell script( because shell script can accept
parameters)
in shell , you can say:
echo "select * from table1 where row1=$1"|rsh pg_server
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -U robt db
(e.g . remote shell call, local is same)
3. if you use bash shell, you can also use
pgbash(http://www.psn.co.jp/PostgreSQL/pgbash/index-e.html)
