Set the schema search path for PostgreSQL and Redshift

The search_path environment variable in PostgreSQL specifies the order in which schemas are searched. For example, you set the value of search_path to z,a,public, PostgreSQL will look for a value in the z schema. If nothing was not found in the z schema, PostgreSQL looks for the value in the a schema.

In PostgreSQL and Amazon Redshift, the default search path (the path that is set in a database) is used unless you specify a different search path.

  1. Click the <console> list, navigate to the list of database schemas (use the arrow icon the Arrow icon or press the right arrow key).

  2. Select the schema that you want to add to a search path.

    To form a search path, you can use the following actions:

    • Press Space to add a highlighted schema to the search path and to remove a schema from the search path.

    • Press Alt+Up and Alt+Down to reorder the schemas within the search path.

  3. To apply the changes, press OK.
