Executing function dynamically

[prdola]

Hi,
I have a table with function names and some other flags where to run them. Sth like this table called PROCESS

name    run_daily   run_monthly
func1       Y                   N
func2       Y                   Y
func3       N                   Y
...

then I have function that should execute selected functions sth like

create or replace function execute_process() returns void as
$$
declare
  c_process refcursor; 
  r_process dwh_loader.process%ROWTYPE;
  v_stmt varchar(200);
begin
  OPEN c_process FOR SELECT * 
                       FROM process 
                      WHERE run_daily = 'Y';
  LOOP
    fetch c_process into r_process;
    -- 
    IF  NOT FOUND THEN
        EXIT;  -- exit loop
    END IF;    
    v_stmt := 'perform '|| r_process.name ||';';
    --
    execute v_stmt;
  END LOOP;
  --
  return;
end;
$$language plpgsql;

This is pretty much how I would handle this situation in Oracle, but Postgre does not allow
execute 'perform....'

Any suggestion how to resolve this issue?

Suggestion is to use

execute 'command string' into variable;
