I have the feeling the answer is no, but I would like an authoritative answer before I give up. My plan was to have two schemas: one for the live data, and one for staging, training, and testing. Both schemas would have identically-named tables. I wanted to create a single view in the public schema, and have that one view refer to the tables in one or the other schema depending on my search_path setting at the time I query the view. But it seems that at the time the view is created it decides which schema's table it's referring to, even if I don't explicitly qualify the table names with the schema name. Am I correct in concluding that there's no way to have a single view in the public schema that selects data from tables in different other schemas depending on my search_path at the time I execute a query involving that view?
You could achieve this using a set returning function. Inside the function you'd check the search_path and then dynamically build the approriate SELECT statement Regards Thomas -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
