I think you are forgetting that databases have a default GRANT CONNECT

have any functional effect.

And then the search path is "just a string"?
psql --user oldrole --dbname newdb --host $DBHOST
psql (12.11, server 12.7)
SSL connection (protocol: TLSv1.2, cipher: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, bits: 256, compression: off)
Type "help" for help.

newdb=> show search_path;
