The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/ddl-schemas.html Description:
This statement is not true and is contradicted in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/sql-createtable.html which states correctly that: If a schema name is given (for example, CREATE TABLE myschema.mytable ...) then the table is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema. It is also worth mentioning that if current_schema is empty (i.e. ,search_path is empty or contains the names of non-existent schemas) you get the error: ERROR: no schema has been selected to create in
