I was trying to run a psql script today against a database today. This script was schema agnostic. (There were table creations and function creations but none of them contained the specific schema to create them in...) I wanted to connect to a DB and then insert that new DDL into a "specific" schema. Because psql does not have a schema switch, I had to do it this way... sed -e '1i\\n SET search_path to contrib;\n' < /usr/local/pgsql-8.2.0/share/contrib/tsearch2.sql | psql -dtemplate1 -p5433 -Upostgres I would have liked to do it this way... psql -dtemplate1 -p5433 -Upostgres -Xcontrib (I put an X there because "S" was already taken. It could be any letter...) Anyone else agree? -Paul -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/psql-%22SCHEMA%22-switch-tf2872570.html#a8028863 Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
