Postgres semantics dictate that the default search_path should be
$user, public
, where$user
expands to the current user's username.This wasn't a problem until now as we lacked support for user defined
schemas, which meant a schema by the name of
$user
wouldn't everexist. This however had changed now and this patch brings us in line
with the PG semantics.
Fixes #53560
Release note (sql change): The default search path for all sessions is
now
$user, public
(as opposed to justpublic
). This affects ourname resolution semantics -- now, if a table is present in both the
public schema and the schema named the current user's username, an
unqualified object name will be searched/placed in the user's schema.
This doesn't impact the search semantics of tables in
pg_catalog/information_schema/temp_schema -- these continued to be
searched before checking the $user schema and the public schema.
