That sounds reasonable. I'll fix it. Thanks!

1)
Error message has no mention of a non-existent schema. "Schema has no
relations" => "Given relation not found in empty schema". It seems to
me that these are equivalent statements.

2)
Is this really the implementation detail that we want to hide from the
user? User can just run "select pg_my_temp_schema();" and see that
there is no temp schema in the current session.
Don't get me wrong - I can agree with that, but for now it seems odd to me...
Steven Niu also mentioned this issue, but IMO we must give the most
accurate description of the problem - tell "relation not found" only
if we have temp namespace, but not specified relation in it.

Please see v4 patch (only comment change).
