Hello
parameter - $n cannot be used on table name or column name position.
Some statements - DROP, VACUUM, ANALYZE doesn't support parameters
ever.
You have to use dynamic SQL in these cases.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo(tablename text, value text)
RETURNS void AS $$
BEGIN
EXECUTE 'insert into ' || quote_ident(tablename) || ' VALUES($1)' USING value;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql
