A while back I ran into problems caused by  security fix related to the
search path. I wound up adding a line to. for instance, this function:

REATE FUNCTION
work_hours
(
     start_date date,
        end_date date
)
RETURNS decimal(10,4) stable
language sql as $$

        /* workaround for secuirty "feature" */
        SET search_path TO ica, "user" , public;

        SELECT
        sum(case when
        extract(isodow from d)
        between 1 and 5 then
        8.0 else
        +0.0 end)
        from

        generate_series($1,
        $2, interval
        '24 hours') d;

$$;

And walked away happy, or so I thought. Now I just got this error:

[local] stan@stan=# select * from ttl_avail_hours_by_project_and_employee ;
ERROR:  SET is not allowed in a non-volatile function
CONTEXT:  SQL function "work_hours" during startup

How can I solve this issue?


I thought I was missing something. Third option. As example:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/sql-createfunction.html

Writing
SECURITY DEFINER
Functions Safely


...

$$  LANGUAGE plpgsql
    SECURITY DEFINER
    -- Set a secure search_path: trusted schema(s), then 'pg_temp'.
    SET search_path = admin, pg_temp;

Put the SET outside the function body.
