Thread: Use of search path in plpgsql functions, PG 8.3.12

Hello,

At present i have the following

Schema 1
-------------

Table: events


Public Schema
-------------

Table: events

Function

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."recurring_events_for" (
  "range_start" timestamp,
  "range_end" timestamp,
  "time_zone" varchar,
  "events_limit" integer
)
RETURNS SETOF "events" AS

....


If i set the search path to schema1,public the function still returns rows from the events table in the public schema.
Iwould like to use the same function for both schema's. I'm sure i'm missing something obvious, can anyone help me
understandthis better ? 



Thanks

What's probably happening is that plpgsql caches the execution plan for
the SELECT during the first execution of the function in any given
session.  The only really reliable way around that is to use EXECUTE
instead of an in-line statement.
