Re: How to pass parameters into a sql script ?

Thanks - with quoting, the 2nd select (select count(*) from
prod_debit_payments_unapplied where when_received = :p_date;) works.

Thanks!

Looks like quoting issue.
Try this one:

$ psql -d us_audit -e -1 -v p_date=\'20081023\' -f chk_param.sql
select count(*) from prod_debit_payments_unapplied where when_received =
(select :p_date::char(8));

or even

select count(*) from prod_debit_payments_unapplied where when_received =
:p_date;

$ cat chk_param.sql
