Substitute Variable in select query

2020-08-24 Thread harish supare
Hi Team,

Would like to know what the substitute/input variable available in psql.


Oracle we use &  - select a, b , c from table where a like &a;

Is there an alternative in psql?

thanks for the reply David.

In case of Colon I need to set the variable first, my requirement is my
select query should prompt for the input.
