How can I append to the current search_path? How can I put $user (back) into the search path? These commands all fail: set search_path $user,public,gnova; set search_path \$user,public,gnova; set search_path '$user',public,gnova; Ideally, I would like something like PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/bin where I can get the current value and just append to it.
