Robert,

However, since we're on that tangent, I'm not completely convinced
that additional lists of search paths that get prepended or appended
to the main search path are the right way to go.  It seems like that's
just chopping up the problem into smaller bits without really fixing
anything.  I wonder if the right solution might be to associate with
each schema a list of other schemas to be searched if the object isn't
found in that schema.  This means that the contents of search_path
would really become the roots of the trees of schemas to be searched.

See, that strikes me a completely unmanageable and likely to give rise to application security holes. But you're a smart guy ... so, *why* would that be a better idea than some superuser settings? What am I not thinking of?
