Because Safe runs in a different namespace altogether (part of why its Safe). We build the sub under Safe but then execute it in the real namespace. The patch I posted fixes this but Id like someone with more knowledge of safe to look over it. From a quick cvs log it *looked* like that was Andrew Dunstan which is why I cc'ed him. This is not a Safe bug IMHO its our (ab)use of it that is causing the problem. Of course if its only sort that gets affected maybe the cure is worse than the disease... -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
