Re: [GENERAL] Explicitly adding a table to a schema.

I've since created several schemas and renamed the public schema to something else. When I look at the definitions (in PGAdmin III), the CREATE statement for the old tables look like this: CREATE TABLE foo ( ... whereas for my newer tables the full schema path is there: CREATE TABLE myschema.bar ( ... Is there a way that the explicit schema can be added to my older tables? The reason I want to do this is that I'm having a problem with external code (SQLAlchemy) when trying to get foreign key information through reflection-- the table doesn't seem to be found. Does this even make sense since the tables are definitely in the new schema anyway?

I did try that, but that command moves the table to a different schema, which is not what I'm trying to do. It struck me to try to move it to another schema (where the definition then explicitly included the schema prefix) and then move it back, but it still doesn't have the schema prefix.

Cheers, Demitri What you might be looking for then is the search_path http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ddl-schemas.html#DDL-SCHEMAS-PATH when you specify an unqualified table, Postgres uses the search path to look for it, and when creating tables, unqualified tables go into 'public' which is the default search path. I'm not sure if you get pgadmin to add public to the create table statements, pg_dump might though. -Adam

So, some objects will have their name prefixed with the schema name, and others won't. -- Guillaume http://blog.guillaume.lelarge.info http://www.dalibo.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
