We have a script wrapper for psql which reads a configuration file and constructs a psql command to connect to the configured instance of postgres. We would like to include a search_path setting in the configuraration file and have the wrapper use that to set the search_path for the psql session. I tried using the -v flag (-vsearch_path=xxxx) with the psql command but that did not work:
> psql -h$SOCKET -U$USER -p$PORT -vsearch_path=$SCHEMAS $DBNAME
The search_path remains at the default setting:
iii=> show search_path;
search_path
----------------
"$user",public
(1 row)
Can anyone tell me how I can make this happen short of changing the search_path setting in postgresql.conf & restarting postgres?
