Shame on me. My bad. It was the order of installation that did not work.
Sorry for that. I was mislead by the error message. If an object is
missing I would not expect an invalid type name message.
For all the code knows it could be just a misspelling.
Thanks

Thanks for the hint and care. The install script has a set statement
already and I now added the search_path clause to no avail. Please
find the entire code attached and a screenshot from the error.

However, I want to create a (trigger) function to impose data

the
following error on installation of the function.
V⠒NODE_TYPE⠒NAME NODE⠒V.NODE_TYPE⠒NAME%type := null;
Syntax error at "%" … invalid type name. If I use the actual type of
the
column, all is fine.
FWIW, I couldn't reproduce this with the fragmentary scripts you
provided. I suspect the problem is not about the special characters
in the names, rather about search_path not including the NODE⠒V view.
Consider schema-qualifying the view name, or attaching a "SET
search_path" clause to the function.
