The man page needs improvement --- some variables accept a list of
values now.  In particular
SET search_path = public, s1;
SET search_path = "public", "s1";
SET search_path = 'public', 's1';
would all be correct ways of expressing this.  The other is not, and
can't be because it would require excluding commas from the set of
characters allowed in quoted schema names.

Wao, this is confusing:-)

The man page says:

   SET variable { TO | = } { value | 'value' | DEFAULT }

And:

test=# show search_path;
 search_path 
-
 public, s1
(1 row)

So user naturally thinks

set search_path to 'public,s1';

is a correct syntax, no?

[HACKERS] set search_path failure

[Tatsuo Ishii]

I'm seeing this:

test=# create schema s1;
CREATE SCHEMA
test=# set search_path to 'public, s1';
ERROR:  Namespace "public, s1" does not exist

Am I missing something?
