Permanently Set Postgresql Schema Path

Permanently Set Postgresql Schema Path

(And if you have no admin access to the server)

ALTER ROLE <your_login_role> SET search_path TO a,b,c;

Two important things to know about:

1. When a schema name is not simple, it needs to be wrapped in double quotes.
2. The order in which you set default schemas a, b, c matters, as it is also the order in which the schemas will be looked up for tables. So if you have the same table name in more than one schema among the defaults, there will be no ambiguity, the server will always use the table from the first schema you specified for your search_path.

add schema to path in postgresql

Use the set_config() function like so:

SELECT set_config(
    'search_path',
    current_setting('search_path') || ',zzz',
    false
) WHERE current_setting('search_path') !~ '(^|,)zzz(,|$)';

PostgreSQL: How do I set the search_path at the user level?

I found the answer:

ALTER ROLE username SET search_path = schema1,schema2,schema3,etc;

How to change default/current schema in sql

Change the search path

set search_path = schemay, public;

You can also do that for your user permanently:

alter user current_user 
  set search_path = schemay, public;

How does the search_path influence identifier resolution and the current schema

Search path is indeed what you want:

% create schema blarg;
% set search_path to blarg;
% create table foo (id int);
% \d
       List of relations
 Schema | Name | Type  | Owner 
--------+------+-------+-------
 blarg  | foo  | table | pgsql

Set PostgreSQL search_path in jOOQ

When jOOQ 3.0 was released, some of these "legacy" features were removed mostly because they weren't well thought through. In this particular case, the use(Schema) method pretended that the different RDBMS supported by jOOQ actually had a common idea of what the "current schema" is. The implementation, however, was a bit misleading and confusing to those users that use jOOQ with more than one database.

More information on the jOOQ 3.0 feature removals here.

The solution today is to

1. use vendor-specific commands like

ALTER USER my_user SET search_path = ...

More info about that here

2. use jOOQ's runtime schema mapping feature

Using this feature, you can specify at run time what the real schema name generated by jOOQ will be. For instance, if the schema in your generated code is FOO and the "ordinary" SQL statement generated would look like this:

SELECT foo.table.column FROM foo.table

You can specify a mapping from FOO to BAR to let jOOQ produce the following SQL instead, without touching your Java code:

SELECT bar.table.column FROM bar.table

More info about that here

Change default schema for user

I think you need to relogin for that. With ALTER USER ... SET you change

Session defaults for run-time configuration variables

Also from ALTER ROLE SET manual:

Role-specific variable settings take effect only at login;

But don't apply changes to current session. If you want immediate change use:

SET search_path TO bla;

It will change path on session level
