The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      5108
Logged by:          Balazs Klein
Email address:      balazs.kl...@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.1
Operating system:   Windows XP
Description:        plpgsql function name conflict with table alias
Details: 

I have a plpgsql function called 
irq(IN ulist integer[], .....)

defined as 

Select ..........
irq.instreq_min_metcount,
irq.ref_deptype,
irq.instreq_aggrfunc
>From .................. instrument_requirement irq ON ........ 


It works fine on 8.1 Linux

On 8.4.1 on windows XP running the function gives an error message
(Undefined column: 7 ERROR: record "rec" has no field "instreq_id") wich is
strange because the underlying query does return that column.
I run the create script of irq to create irq2 - and irq2 works fine.
I delete irq and rename irq2 to irq and I get the error back.

The error is consistent in the sense that if I delete the database and
restore it it appears again the same way.

I replace the table alias irq to instreq and the function works.

I believe it is a conflict between the table alias and the function name.

I raised the issue and got help on the mail list:

Thanks and regards.
