With \dp having a schema column, how would we display permissions there?
Access privileges for database "test"
Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges
--------+------+-------+-------------------
public | test | table |
(1 row)
I don't think it makes sense to add schema to \dp if it would not
normally appear in the \dp display.
I figured schema permissions were different enough from table that is
belonged under schema, no? Also, to me view/table/sequence are data
storage objects, while schemas seem different.
