With a very simple statement you can do that:
fabrizio=# SELECT current_setting('search_path');
current_setting
-----------------
"$user",public
(1 row)
fabrizio=# SELECT set_config('search_path',
current_setting('search_path')||', another_schema', false);
set_config
--------------------------------
"$user",public, another_schema
(1 row)
Or you can create a simple sql function to concat your configs:
fabrizio=# CREATE FUNCTION concat_config(name TEXT, value TEXT, is_local
BOOLEAN)
fabrizio-# RETURNS text
fabrizio-# LANGUAGE sql
fabrizio-# AS $$ SELECT set_config(name, current_setting(name)||','||value,
is_local); $$;
CREATE FUNCTION
fabrizio=# SELECT concat_config('search_path', 'another_schema', false);
concat_config
-------------------------------
"$user",public,another_schema
(1 row)
fabrizio=# SELECT concat_config('search_path', 'schema2', false);
concat_config
---------------------------------------
"$user",public,another_schema,schema2
(1 row)
