Thread: which schema to install contrib modules

which schema to install contrib modules

Hello,

I was wonding what the community's opinion was on which schema the contrib
modules should be installed into.  I intend on using DBLink, tsearch2, and
xml2 and have initially installed them in the public schema.  That will work
but it really clutters that schema and I was also intending on using that
for my application as well.  Is there any value to creating a "contrib"
schema and installing them there and then just referencing them via the
contrib.<FUNCTION> convention?  I was also thinking that I could just change
my postgresql.conf file to have my schema order read $user, public, contrib.

Is it more valuable to just move my application into it's own schema and
leaving the contribs in the public schema?

Thoughts?

Paul
