The problem:
I've two tables, both called "test" on two different schemas, let's say
schema1 and schema2.
I need to write a function like (just a simple example)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo()
RETURNS int4 AS
$BODY$
declare
num int4;
begin
select into num count(*) from test;
return num;
end;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
I need something like:
SET search_path = schema1,public;
select foo();
-- get the number of rows of schema1.test
SET search_path = schema2,public;
select foo();
-- get the number of rows of schema2.test
The problem is that i get always the number of rows from the table in
the schema that was current when I created the function.
How can I obtain what I need ?? I cannot write 2 different functions (my
db is really more complex, with lots of functions and triggers that need
this kind of access).
Thanks to everybody
Roberto

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
