The queries in plpgsql have their query-plans compiled the first time
they are executed. This means that the first time you ran the function
you created dummy_table with an OID of 75275. The second time, it was
re-created with a different OID, but the update query doesn't know this.
Its plan tries to access a table with OID=75275 and fails.

Solution: read up on the EXECUTE <string> statement that allows you to
build dynamic queries.

Also, you might want to read up on creating temporary tables.
