Claudio,

I've had the same question myself for the past month, which has gone
unanswered (hint, hint, Jeff!). Currently I'm using custom functions to
build views and then referenceing the views:

CREATE FUNCTION fun_generate_statistics (
do a bunch of stuff, ending with:
CREATE VIEW vw_generate_statistics (
bunch of stuff);
);

Then the front-end code references vw_generate_statistics.

Not elegant, but sufficient until I hear from Jeff or Jan Wieck.
