    DO cannot return results. Use a function. Commented Oct 7, 2020 at 21:16

As mentioned a DO will not return anything. To make the statement work though:


DO
$$
    DECLARE 
    loginid varchar :='asdasdw';
    sql_stmt_part   TEXT;
    begin
     execute  'select * from test.tablename where login_id='|| quote_literal(loginid); 
     

 end 
$$ language plpgsql;

The login variable needs to concatenated to the rest of the string and properly quoted(the quote_literal). This is just one way of doing it. Others can be found here:
