I have a table with informations that change every month, and I have to update the monthly data in a new column. To do that, I try to find out wich months are being trated and I perform an update in my table for every month.
So what I'm trying to do is to change the month column for a fixed name, perform my selects and updates in the renamed column and change the name back for its old value. Then I do exactly the same thing for another month. It would be something like this: FOR month IN select month from monht_values LOOP v_command: = 'ALTER TABLE my_table RENAME COLUMN m' ||month ||' TO month_value;'; EXECUTE v_command; UPDATE my_table SET month_value = new_value WHERE key = my_key; v_command: = 'ALTER TABLE my_table RENAME COLUMN month_value TO m' ||month ||';'; EXECUTE v_command; END LOOP; The query works just fine, but the updates are made allways in the same column. Even when I change the name, PostgreSQL doesn't recognize it, and all the updates are performed in the same first column name. It seems like it stores the column information in a way I can't change the it. Any ideas on how to fix it?
