Thread: Schema - update search_path
Hey guys,
I would like to know a good way of updating or appending the schema names in the search path, Right now I do a show search_path, get the names of all the schemas, and then set search path; adding the new schema.
I'm in the process of integrating a few systems and will need to continuously add new schemas. The manual method above is pretty tiring and prone to errors and all that.
Looking through the mailing list I see that this question has been asked before but I don't see an answer.
Thanks.

Perhaps like this:
regression=# create schema news;
CREATE SCHEMA
regression=# show search_path;
search_path
----------------
"$user",public
(1 row)
regression=# select set_config('search_path', current_setting('search_path') || ',' || quote_ident('news'), false);
set_config
---------------------
"$user",public,news
(1 row)
regression=# show search_path;
search_path
---------------------
"$user",public,news
(1 row)
regression=#
