Problem creating ROWTYPE variable in plpgsql.

[Rajesh Kumar Mallah]

Hi,
profile_row profile_master%ROWTYPE;
in a plpgsql function

gives the error below

tradein_clients=# SELECT general.create_accounts();
WARNING: plpgsql: ERROR during compile of create_accounts near line 8
ERROR: cache lookup for type 0 of profile_master.........pg.dropped.2........ failed

profile_master have had deletions of its column in past.
if i replace profile_master with another table in which no columns
were dropped there is no problem.

Has this been fixed in the upcoming version of postgresql?
Regds
Mallah.

I believe this has been fixed for 7.4 --- at least, we have fixed some
related issues.

joining column's datatypes do not match
