When you do this query:
SET SEARCH_PATH TO pg_catalog;
SELECT castsource::pg_catalog.regtype AS castsource,
casttarget::pg_catalog.regtype AS casttarget,
castfunc::pg_catalog.regprocedure AS castfunc,
castfunc::pg_catalog.regproc AS castfunc2 FROM pg_catalog.pg_cast ORDER
BY 1, 2;
Only regproc adds the unnecessary pg_catalog. qualification, why is that?
