You can't do that in THAT way, but you can use dynamic SQL:
test=# select * from drop_role ;
t
foobar
(1 row)
test=*# do $$ declare r text; begin for r in select t from drop_role loop
execute 'drop role ' || quote_ident(r) || ';'; end loop; end; $$language
plpgsql;
DO
Hello everyone,
I would want to implement an SQL query where I would be able to suppress all
information from a registered user. I am currenlty able to suppress
everything except the user role. The name of the role is present in a table
and so, I would want to perform something like this :
DROP

Thanks very much. I replaced my statement by the following plpgsql code :
statement := 'DROP ROLE '||(SELECT ...)||';';
execute(statement);
and it works like a charm.
