[postgis-users] problem with plpgsql function - ERROR: could not open relation with OID XXX

Yeah, I agree.  What I've done to get around the caching problem that seems to work is to define all table names as 
variables at the top of the function.  All the sql statements used throughout the function then reference a variable 
instead of an actual table.  The planner can't cache the query plan since the query is adhoc ... no OID referencing problem.
