input redirection question
Hi,

in my script I need to execute the following command:

query $id 456 432

but it waits for a RETURN character from keyboard and therefore, it fails. I tried something like:

query $id 456 432 << '\n'

but, i'ts clear it is not correct. Is there any way to do this?

Thxs.

EXECUTE(7)							   SQL Commands 							EXECUTE(7)

NAME

       EXECUTE - execute a prepared query

SYNOPSIS

	  EXECUTE plan_name [ (parameter [, ...] ) ]

   INPUTS
       plan_name
	      The name of the prepared query to execute.

       parameter
	      The  actual  value  of a parameter to the prepared query.  This must be an expression yielding a value of a type compatible with the
	      data-type specified for this parameter position in the PREPARE statement that created the prepared query.

DESCRIPTION

       EXECUTE is used to execute a previously prepared query. Since prepared queries only exist for the duration of a session, the prepared query
       must have been created by a PREPARE statement executed earlier in the current session.

       If  the	PREPARE  statement  that created the query specified some parameters, a compatible set of parameters must be passed to the EXECUTE
       statement, or else an error is raised. Note that (unlike functions) prepared queries are not overloaded based on  the  type  or	number	of
       their parameters: the name of a prepared query must be unique within a database session.

       For more information on the creation and usage of prepared queries, see PREPARE [prepare(7)].

COMPATIBILITY

   SQL92
       SQL92  includes	an EXECUTE statement, but it is only for use in embedded SQL clients. The EXECUTE statement implemented by PostgreSQL also
       uses a somewhat different syntax.
