I have never seen this problem before.  It occurred while trying to import a dump (done by 9.5 client of a 9.4 database) also.

Table definition:

-
CREATE TABLE source.annual
(
  filename text,
  gzipfile text,
  id serial NOT NULL,
  tsv tsvector,
  ut character varying(19),
  xml xml,
  processed boolean,
  CONSTRAINT annual_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
WITH (
  OIDS=FALSE
);
CREATE INDEX xml_tsv_idx
  ON source.annual
  USING gin
  (tsv);


CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate_source_xml
  BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
  ON source.annual
  FOR EACH ROW
  EXECUTE PROCEDURE source.update_xml_tsv();


And the trigger function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION source.update_xml_tsv()
  RETURNS trigger AS
$BODY$

begin

new.tsv :=  to_tsvector('english', coalesce(new.xml,''));

return new;

end
$BODY$
  LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE
  COST 100;


When I try to insert a value into this  table, I get:
==================================
ERROR:  function to_tsvector(unknown, xml) does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT to_tsvector('english', coalesce(new.xml))
               ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.
QUERY:  SELECT to_tsvector('english', coalesce(new.xml))
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function source.update_xml_tsv() line 5 at assignment

********** Error **********

ERROR: function to_tsvector(unknown, xml) does not exist
SQL state: 42883
Hint: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.
Context: PL/pgSQL function source.update_xml_tsv() line 5 at assignment
=============================================

But I can do

select to_tsvector('English', 'This is a problem')

without a problem.

What is causing this?

Regards
Johann
