And I thought we were done with this :-(
So, I created a schema for the project. Gave all the users permissions on that schema,
recreated all the object in the new schema, verified that everything, including the functions
are in that schema, and I when I dump a table, and try to restore it I get the original
error. I see this line in the dump:
SELECT pg_catalog.set_config('search_path', '', false);
So, it appears that this means that the function cannot be found, even if it is in the new
(default) schema.
Oh yes, I did make the new schema the first thing in the search path defined in the system-wide
postgresql.conf file.
Surely this cant be the intended behavior.
