change table to view problem

Actually it's only the views that have this problem. The funcitons have kept
the original table name which is now the name of the view.

I merged 2 tables into 1 table and created a view for each of the tables so
as not to break existing applications. I renamed the old tables with the
_old suffix in case there was a problem so I could verify against the old
data.

The problem is that all the views and functions switched the name of the
table to the renamed table and do not use the new views I have created. Is
there a recommended way of updating all the views and functions that use
the table to start using the view?

This is how it's supposed to work. System objects (views, foreign-keys,
some functions etc) track other objects by their OID. Otherwise changes
to table-names, or schema search-paths could wreak havoc.

If you want to attach the views to the new tables then you'll need to
recreate them.
