Sure, but we don't have that option available to us here --- or more accurately, ALTER USER/DATABASE SET *does* warn if the search_path value looks like it might be invalid according to the current context, but that helps little for this problem. What's important is whether the value is valid when we attempt to apply it. Basically, I don't think you've made a strong case for changing this behavior; nor have you explained what you think we should do instead. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
