It takes the first one.

There is no explicit relationship between users and schemas, however
many installations have the search_path default to "$user, public"
which is magically substituted on connection. You are ofcourse free to
alter search_path whenever you want. Any table can always be referred
to by its full name...

Hope this helps,
