Details: 

Hi all!

I have a very big problem...

Here the code:

/*SQL START*/

CREATE TABLE "public"."test_data" (
  "id" INTEGER NOT NULL, 
  "type" INTEGER NOT NULL, 
  "short_text" VARCHAR(255), 
  CONSTRAINT "test_data_pkey" PRIMARY KEY("id")
) WITH OIDS;

CREATE TYPE "public"."ret_id" AS (
  "id" INTEGER
);

CREATE TYPE "public"."test" AS (
  "id" INTEGER,
  "type" INTEGER,
  "info" VARCHAR(255)
);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."get_obj_list" () RETURNS SETOF
"public"."ret_id" AS
$body$
declare
       ret ret_id;
begin

     for ret in select test_data.id from test_data
     loop

     return next ret;
     
     end loop;

end;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."get_obj" (id integer) RETURNS
"public"."test" AS
$body$
declare
       ret test;
       in_id alias for $1;
       
begin

     select * from test_data a into ret where a.id=in_id;
     return ret;

end;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;

/*SQL END*/

It is ok, but when I try to join these procedures, server responses error

/*SQL START*/
SELECT b.*
FROM get_obj_list a
  LEFT JOIN get_obj(a.id) b ON 1=1
/*SQL END*/

Error: relation "a" does not exists.

Why it's so?
