Hello, I am hoping that I'm just missing some kind of syntax tweak, but after
experimenting a bit, I cannot seem to get this working.
I have a view "configurations.tp_transactions" which is a blend of many tables using
INNER and LEFT JOINs. I want to populate a temp table from which I can obtain the data and
programmatically write queries to operate on that data using certain PLPGSQL functions in a uniform
fashion. I have several functions which all expect a single argument of the type
"configurations.tp_transactions".
I am running 9.0.5 on CentOS 5 64 bit
Here is the schema of "configurations.tp_transactions"
network=> \d configurations.tp_transactions
View "configurations.tp_transactions"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------------+----------------------+-----------
id | integer |
spid | integer |
sponsor_mtype | character varying(5) |
sponsor_spid | integer |
membertype | character varying |
trans_type | smallint |
trans_id | integer |
trans_date | date |
discount_amt | numeric(6,2) |
cv_mult | real |
reb_mult | real |
comm_mult | real |

ma_id | integer |
ma_spid | integer |
ma_mtype | character varying(5) |

network=> SELECT * INTO TEMP TABLE myt
FROM configurations.tp_transactions
WHERE membertype <> 'x'
AND configurations.tp_transactions.trans_id IN (920787);
SELECT 1
network=> \d myt
Table "pg_temp_47.myt"

List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types |
Type
----------------+--------+------------------+--------------------------------+--------
configurations | myself | integer | configurations.tp_transactions |
normal
(1 row)
network=> select configurations.myself(myt.*) from myt;
ERROR: function configurations.myself(myt) does not exist
LINE 1: select configurations.myself(myt.*) from myt;

HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to
add explicit type casts.
network=> select configurations.myself(myt.*) from
configurations.tp_transactions myt where trans_id=920787;
myself

I also tried creating the temp table first using this syntax and then inserting
into it, but function still did not recognize the type.
network=> CREATE TEMP TABLE myt OF configurations.tp_transactions;
CREATE TABLE
network=> \d myt
Table "pg_temp_11.myt"
