Thread: Alter session set current_schema

Alter session set current_schema

In Oracle you can log on using OS authentication & then:
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA= <schema name>;

Is there anyway to do this in PostGres?

The equivalent is

  SET SEARCH_PATH TO <schema name>[,<other schema>]...;

You can use ALTER DATABASE SET SEARCH_PATH... to make this a permanent
change for everyone.

The default path is $user, public

I would suppose that "SET search_path" is the right equivalent ...
