What is this supposed to do for you too?

The thing to remember with plpgsql is that it's compiled (unlike say plTcl).
This means that it translates table-names etc. into oids. So what you have to
be careful of is referring to a temporary table that is created, destroyed an
re-created (because it's oid will change).
The solution is to use the EXECUTE command to build a dynamic query. Check the
archives for plenty of other people doing this.
