Bug reference: 1692
Logged by: Jocelyn Turcotte
Email address: turcotte.j@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Operating system: Debian linux 1:3.3.5-12
Description: Drop table in plpgsql
Details:

I dont know if this bug is known (it seems to be a bug though), did not find
the todo list on the site.
If I execute the folowing code I get the error:

ERROR: relation with OID 3374698 does not exist
CONTEXT: SQL statement "INSERT INTO tmp values (1)"
PL/pgSQL function "bugtest" line 8 at SQL statement

Code:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION bugtest() returns integer as $proc$
DECLARE
yo record;
BEGIN
CREATE TEMP TABLE tmp (
col INTEGER
) ON COMMIT DROP;

INSERT INTO tmp values (1);

select into yo col from tmp;

DROP TABLE tmp;
RETURN 0;
END;
$proc$ language plpgsql;

select bugtest();
select bugtest();

See "Why do I get 'relation with OID ##### does not exist' errors
when accessing temporary tables in PL/PgSQL functions?" in the FAQ:
