<P>In PostgreSQL versions < 8.3, PL/PgSQL caches function scripts, and
an unfortunate side effect is that if a PL/PgSQL function accesses a
temporary table, and that table is later dropped and recreated, and
the function called again, the function will fail because the cached
function contents still point to the old temporary table. The solution
is to use <SMALL>EXECUTE</SMALL> for temporary table access in
PL/PgSQL. This will cause the query to be reparsed every time.</P>
