Ok I must be doing something wrong. I tried the same test on my old server running 8.3 which has had no problem with
anythingup till now (but also only working within public schema). So I am obviously not working with schemas
correctly. Will read the manual for hopefully a deeper understanding.
> I did create the schemas with PgAdmin. As a test I also created another schema in psql and it too has the same
problemswith the function not working. I also created the function this time without relying on search_path and even
alteredthe function and tables names slightly just in case there was some kind of conflict. Consequently there was no
logerror with search_path anymore but again the function will not work even though it appears to go through the motions
ofworking.
