Thanks for the suggestion.
Following is my interpretation of what I have read.
I am getting an error -- "column "1" does not exist"
Could someone point to what I am doing wrong?
Bob
Select 2 into point_array ;
Select "1" into column ;
Loop
Execute 'Update library.compare Set'
|| quote_ident (column[point_array])
|| '=
(select st_distance (st_geometryn(public.similar.the_geom, 1),
(st_geometryn(public.similar.the_geom, point_array)))/
public.similar.prime
from public.similar
where public.similar.sight_description = ''H_Line'')'
-- || newvalue
|| 'from public.import_process_transfer'
|| 'where library.compare.process_id =
public.import_process_transfer.process_id';
-- || quote_literal();
