While this is an interesting use of Schema, it is not, IMHO, a good way to 
partition client data.    Far better to have monolithic tables with a 
"client_id" column and then construct *views* which are available in each 
schema only to that client.   Otherwise, as you've discovered, top-level 
management becomes a royal pain.

I'd be happy to discuss this further on PGSQL-SQL, which is really the 
appropriate mailing list.
