Works for me, without errors:
test=# create table tab1(i int); CREATE TABLE Zeit: 0,850 ms test=*# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test2(tab1 text, tab2 text )
RETURNS text AS $$ BEGIN EXECUTE 'create table ' || quote_ident(tab2) || ' as Select * from ' || quote_ident(tab1); RETURN 'done'; END; $$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
CREATE FUNCTION Zeit: 0,472 ms test=*# select * from test2('tab1','tab2'); test2 ------- done (1 Zeile)
Zeit: 1,844 ms
Please show the error you got.
