That probably means you have some user-defined functions that are not sufficiently careful about search_path. You want to either schema-qualify every reference in the function body, or attach a "SET search_path" clause to remove the function's context dependency. (If you're using SQL-language functions in v14 or later, another option is to use the SQL-standard syntax instead of writing the body as a string literal. Then the object references in the function are parsed at definition time.) regards, tom lane
