I believe this statement is incorrect, quoting Michael Ansley
<Michael.Ansley@intec-telecom-systems.com> from a previous e-mail:

<QUOTE>
create function testfunc (text) returns int4 as '
declare sql varchar;
begin sql=''SELECT id AS res2 FROM ''||$1 ; execute sql ; return res2;
end;
' language 'plpgsql' ;

Please note the AS syntax rather than INTO.  This was a misconception on
my part, which has obviously lasted longer than I'd hoped ;-)
