I just was educated on the security issues of search path. As a result I am going to define a schema for the project we are working on. I set this in postgresql.conf search_path = 'ica , "$user", public' Here is the question. Will this path be in effect for users connecting from MS Access clients? The name of this file makes me think that it only controls instances of psql, but I need this to be effective for all connections to the database. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
