Given this function body:

DECLARE
recurrence Client_Appointment_Recurrences;
...
BEGIN
...
END

and a table called "Client_Appointment_Recurrences", the message is
"ERROR: type client_appointment_recurrences does not exist".

Rename the table to "client_appointment_recurrences" and the error vanishes

Regards

Nicole

This is not a bug and not the appropriate list for a question. That
said, try this:

8<------------------
CREATE TABLE "Client_Appointment_Recurrences" (id int);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test() RETURNS text AS $$
DECLARE
recurrence "Client_Appointment_Recurrences";
BEGIN
RETURN 'ok';
END$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

SELECT test();
test
------
ok
(1 row)
8<------------------

HTH,

Joe
