I am receiving the following error and cannot understand what it means.
Please let me know if this makes sense to you.

ERROR:  could not open relation 1663/3364852/7973197: No such file or
directory
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "create temporary table tmpcust as select a.* from
qry_Customers_Country a"
PL/pgSQL function "buildsrtemptables" line 34 at execute statement

The code I am using checks if a temporary tables exists, if it exists, it
drops 3 temp tables. The function continues on and creates the temporary
tables. This ensures that if my application calls the function twice in the
same connection, it doesn't get the error. What is strange about the error
is that it does not happen everytime. I can call the function and it creates
the tables. I then call it again and I get the error, and the tables still
exist. Then I call the function again and it drops and rebuilds the tables
with no error. But it is not always every other one, sometimes it is every 3
calls.
Below is the code:

create or replace function buildsrtemptables(uidparm int, prodparm int,
cntparm int, custparm int, orderparm int, startdateparm date, monthsparm
int) returns void
--prodparm 0=not enabled, 1=useprod, 2=useprodtype
--cntparm 0 = not enabled, 1 = usecountry, 2= useregion
--custparm 1=list, 2=all
--orderparm 0=not enabled, 1=3months, 2=1yr, 3=2yr, 4=3yr, 5=all, 6=defined
--if orderparm=6 then
--startdate date
--months int
