Sorry, I could have been clearer... Nothing in function xy() needs to
change because you don't explicitly refer to any schema anywhere. If
your tables had been created in the "public" schema, as per default, and
your code was:
CREATE FUNCTION foo() AS $$
SELECT x.a, y.b FROM public.x, public.y WHERE x.xid = y.xid $$;
Then you'd have to change the function to be:
CREATE FUNCTION foo() AS $$
SELECT x.a, y.b FROM newschema.x, newschema.y WHERE x.xid = y.xid $$;
does that make any more sense?
I actually mis-read the original suggestion from Scott as being:
ALTER SCHEMA foo RENAME TO bar;
I.e. just rename the whole schema across with everything inside it.
The same caveats would apply.
