Hi list,

(newbie question)

I'm trying to move a set of tables between schemas.

Tried:

ALTER TABLE tablename
    SET SCHEMA schemaname

It gives me error: "schema schemaname does not exist" (it does)

Any help please.
Thanks,
António

"You must own the table to use ALTER TABLE. To change the schema of a
table, you must also have CREATE privilege on the new schema"

Are you doing the above as the owner of the table and does the owner
have CREATE privileges on the new schema?

You were both right. It was a problem with permissions.
Thank you,
