Thanks, I missed that one. Unfortunately it produces a false negative if a user hasn't had their search path explicitly set, e.g.: postgres=# CREATE ROLE sp_test LOGIN; CREATE ROLE postgres=# \drds sp_test No matching settings found. postgres=# \c - sp_test You are now connected to database "postgres" as user "sp_test". postgres=> SHOW search_path ; search_path ---------------- "$user",public (1 row) postgres=> \c - postgres You are now connected to database "postgres" as user "postgres". postgres=# ALTER ROLE sp_test SET search_path ="$user",public, foo; ALTER ROLE postgres=# \drds sp_test List of settings Role | Database | Settings ---------+----------+----------------------------- sp_test | | search_path="$user", public, foo Also it's psql-specific, so doesn't really lend itself as a global solution. The custom view will have to do for now.
