Hello,

I made a bad update to search_path, which basically had line returns:

prod_candidate=# alter user postgres set search_path to 'search_path=public, schem

prod_candidate'# a1, schema2, schema3'

prod_candidate-# ;

ALTER ROLE

And now, I can't get it to insert correctly again, there always seems to be some backslashes stuck in there:

prod_candidate=# alter user postgres set search_path to '';

ALTER ROLE

prod_candidate=# select usename, useconfig from pg_user;

    usename     |                 useconfig                  

----------------+--------------------------------------------

 postgres       | {"search_path=\"\""}

 user2 | {"search_path=public, schema1, schema2, schema3"}

 user3       | {"search_path=public, schema1, schema2, schema3"}

(3 rows)

prod_candidate=# alter user postgres set search_path to 'operator, gameplay, common';

ALTER ROLE

prod_candidate=# select usename, useconfig from pg_user;

    usename     |                   useconfig                    

----------------+------------------------------------------------

 postgres       | {"search_path=\"public, schema1, schema2, schema3\""}

 user2 | {"search_path=public, schema1, schema2, schema3"}

 user3       | {"search_path=public, schema1, schema2, schema3"}

Hi Colin,

you should rather set the path with:

alter user postgres set search_path = public, schema1, schema2, schema3;
