Note that you can refer to the temp table like this:

select * from pg_temp.testtable;

Also, you can make the non-temp table first in the search path by
putting pg_temp later than the public schema (or wherever you have
created the function):


select * from testtable;-- refers to temp
set search_path to 'public', 'pg_temp';
select * from testtable;-- refers to non-temp

Temp. To access public use "select * from public.testtable".

"Temporary tables exist in a special schema, so a schema name cannot be 
given when creating a temporary table."


See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/sql-createtable.html for 
details.
