Hi there,
I have tried many ideas to get this working but no luck.
Can some show me or explain what is happening
EXAMPLE
==========
I am trying to read to 2 text fields to combine them togther to form the
name of a
VIEW. example
SELECT * FROM ( 'april'||'may') ;
I have tried the EXECUTE in a function to PREPARE a dynameic select
call;
EXECUTE 'SELECT * FROM '
|| 'select tablename.text_field1 from tablename'
|| 'select tablename.text_field2 from tablename';
If tablename.text_field1 = "May" and tablename.text_field2 = "Aprl",
this function only returns "MayApril" and not the columns and data that
I expected.
What am I doing wrong here?
Has anyone done this before or have any ideas on how to do it ?
Thanks
