在PostgreSQL 9.1中，PL / pgSQL给出了一个查询：

select fk_list.relname from ...

其中relname的类型name（例如“ table_name”）。

如何获得“ relname”的适当值，该值可直接在UPDATE语句中用作：

Update <relname> set ...

在PL / pgSQL脚本中？

使用quote_ident(r.relname)如：

Update quote_ident(r.relname) Set ...

失败与：

“（”或附近的语法错误LINE 55：UPDATE quote_ident（r.relname）…。

我正在使用的完整代码：

CREATE FUNCTION merge_children_of_icd9 (ocicd9 text, 
                      ocdesc text, ncicd9 text, ncdesc text)

DECLARE
  r RECORD;

             ('n', 'set null'),
             ('d', 'set default')
    ), fk_list AS (

      FROM fk_list
      JOIN pg_attribute ON conrelid = attrelid AND attnum = ANY(key_cols)
      ORDER BY fkoid, attnum
    ), fk_cols_list AS (
      SELECT fkoid, array_agg(attname) AS cols_list
      FROM fk_attributes
      GROUP BY fkoid
    )
    SELECT fk_list.fkoid, fk_list.conrelid, fk_list.parentid, fk_list.conname, 
           fk_list.relname, fk_cols_list.cols_list
    FROM fk_list
    JOIN fk_cols_list USING (fkoid)
    WHERE parentid = 'icd9'::regclass
  LOOP
    RAISE NOTICE 'now in loop. relname is %', quote_ident(r.relname);
    RAISE NOTICE 'cols_list[1] is %', quote_ident(r.cols_list[1]);
    RAISE NOTICE 'cols_list[2] is %', quote_ident(r.cols_list[2]);
    RAISE NOTICE 'now doing update';

    UPDATE quote_ident(r.relname) SET r.cols_list[1] = ncicd9, r.cols_list[2] = ncdesc
    WHERE r.cols_list[1] = ocicd9 AND r.cols_list[2] = ocdesc;

    RAISE NOTICE 'finished update'; 
  END LOOP;     
  RETURN;
END $BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE;

-- select merge_children_of_icd9('', 'aodm type 2', '', 'aodm, type 2');

我敢肯定这种事情经常发生，但是我似乎无法使用PostgreSQL找到类似的东西。有没有更好的办法？
