The error message shows that this is getting rewritten into

so the problem is that you are using svc_tbl_name as a plpgsql variable,
and plpgsql is not bright enough to realize that it shouldn't substitute
the variable value at this particular spot in the query. You need to
change the variable name to something that won't conflict. In general,
don't use plpgsql variables that are named the same as any SQL tables or
columns you need to mention in the function.
