I have not received a reply to this so I am CCing the hackers list for
more input. (If this is not the proper procedure, please let me know.)
The only additional thoughts I have are that when we removed public from
pg_dump's search_path and decided to instead fully qualify object
creation names, I was concerned about function creation failing because
of 'public' schema object references in the function body, but someone
pointed out that we don't check function bodies during restore because
of:
SET check_function_bodies = false;
However, what I did not consider was creation of indexes based on
function bodies with 'public' schema references.
I have ran some tests and found out that only SQL functions cause such
failures. I believe this is because they are inlined during CREATE
INDEX. The attached pg_dump output file recreates the failure, and
shows that prefixing it with "public" avoids the failure, and shows that
indexing of a PL/pgSQL function doesn't fail (see SQL comments).
A more general issue with functions is that if you schema-qualify a call
to a function, you will still need all object references in the function
to reference the schema where the object is installed if they are not in
search_path, i.e. schema qualifying the object doesn't propagate that
schema qualification into the function body (functions look in
search_path, not necessarily in the schema in which they are defined).
I am not sure what to suggest, but I don't think we can ignore this
problem.
