My plpgsql function seems to be ignoring search_path when looking for
the right table to select from. I'm running 7.3.4. Below is my test
code. Am I doing something wrong?
TIA, Gene Chow
test=> create or replace function getval() returns varchar as '
test'> declare val varchar;
test'> begin
test'> select into val value from bar limit 1;
test'> return val;
test'> end;' language 'plpgsql';
CREATE FUNCTION
test=> create table public.bar ( value varchar );
CREATE TABLE
test=> insert into public.bar values ('public value');
INSERT 4012748 1
test=> create schema foo;
CREATE SCHEMA
test=> create table foo.bar ( value varchar );
CREATE TABLE
test=> insert into foo.bar values ('foo value');
INSERT 4012754 1
test=> set search_path to foo, public;
SET
test=> select *, getval() from bar;
value | getval
-----------+-----------
foo value | foo value
(1 row)
test=> set search_path to public;
SET
test=> select *, getval() from bar;
value | getval
--------------+-----------
public value | foo value
(1 row)
