I have first to admit the inconsistency is probably on my side!-) The task - I want to clone a table I created in public schema in another schema (xxx) of the same database. The problem - I get an error message when creating the table using the original SQL script: ERROR: type "geography" does not exist. I understand from "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9067335/how-to-create-table-inside-speci fic-schema-by-default-in-postgres" that the original script should work if I set the search path to the destination schema (xxx) prior to execute the script (set search_path to xxx ;) but the PgAdmin III SQL window does not seem aware of the geography type. What I do not understand is that using the GUI (contextual menu. new table . new column.) within schema xxx, I can create the table as expected, and the geography type is recognized. Any idea about what is going on when using the SQL window?
