Does anybody know of a solution on how to designate a schema while establishing the connection? I would highly appreciate it!!!
we use the rolename as the default schema. works for us.
If someone has this requirement, it *probably* uses different users for different schema configurations. In such case you don't even need to match user name and schema name, you can simple configure search_path per user as:
ALTER ROLE username SET search_path TO schema1, schema2, ...;
For me, setting search_path from URL connection is a mistake, as it is not one of configurations accept on connection creating at the protocol (or is it?), like it is for client_encoding, application_name and others. If JDBC devs are going to change settings on URL then you probably should start thinking on more generic, like setting any GUC (like work_mem, etc.).
Disclaimer: I'm not a JDBC community active user, that is my "opinion", and you can take or not... ;-)
