This is a bug in your function: it will not work if the search path
doesn't contain the public schema.  You'd be best advised to make it
qualify the reference to t_public explicitly.

Yes, that's the way we are fixing it. Still I have a bitter taste being able to
create a working database instance that doesn't generate a valid dump.

(Of course you realize that referencing any table at all in an
"immutable" function is probably a mortal sin...)

Yes Tom I know, in our case that table is a lookup table, noone update,
delete, insert data in it, so from my point of view it is like I have declared a
static array inside the function declaration.
