What's wrong with doing it like this, for example?
#!/bin/bash
user=$1
database=$2
table=$3
myfield=$4
logfile=$5
mysql="select $4 from $3;"
psql -U $user $database -c "mysql" -l "$5"
Then:
/tmp/myscript postgres mydb mytable myfield /tmp/mylog

Hi All,
Using PostgreSQL v9.3 on Linux Red Hat...
I've got a script that I'm running from the Linux command prompt that I need to pass 2 parameter's into the psql script
withoutusing the VI Editor. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
psql <database> -f <scriptname> -l <log_file>
Thank you in advance.
