So we now have a default schema name of the current user? For example:
foobar@somewhere> psql testme
testme=# select * from mytab
Table "foobar.mytab"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
f2 | text |
f3 | integer |
like that? This is exactly how DB2 operates, implict schemas for each user.
