Thanks Tom, that seemed to get me farther. I issued this on the remote db:
ALTER FUNCTION utils.concat_artists(character varying) SET search_path=public,utils;
And now my test errs on a different function, which probably needs the same:
piction@piction_transit> select * from piction.bampfa_test_fv ;
ERROR: relation "collectionobjects_common" does not exist
CONTEXT: Remote SQL command: SELECT objectcsid, idnumber, collections FROM piction.bampfa_test_v
PL/pgSQL function utils.get_first_blobcsid(character varying) line 7 at SQL statement
In case this breaks stuff, what is the default search_path for functions if they are created without one set explicitly?
"$user"?
