 Hi Samba,

   first: do not worry, it is perfectly normal.

 A schema is something that belongs to a database.

 You have just set the search_path for a specific user ("system_data")
 to include "system_data" (am I right?). However, a user can
 theoretically connect to any database on the instance.

 The error above is generated when you connect with that user
 ("system_data") to a database that does not have the "system_data"
 schema.

 Please let me have more information if my assumption were wrong.

 Cheers,
 Gabriele

 Tip/Note: by default, search_path is set to search in the "$user" and
 public schemas. Therefore, if you connect using the "system_data" user,
 you do not need to force searching in that schema.
