If you read the documentation about search_path, you'll find out that
setting it to empty means that only the pg_catalog schema is present
in the effective search path (and maybe your pg_temp schema, if you
have created any temp tables). So system catalog references,
references to built-in functions and operators, and temp table names
will not be qualified. Everything else will be.
