How does that work in practice?  for current SQL (not pl/pgsql) functions,  this will fail:

create function f() returns int as $$ create temp table i(i int); select * from i; $$ language sql; 
ERROR:  relation "i" does not exist

This example seems unrelated to the point being made.


Also, how do search_path interactions work in your understanding?


The query in the atomic sql function behaves no differently than an equivalent view.  OIDs don't care about search_path.
