Re: What is exactly a schema?

I'll be using Devart's dotConnect. I have two alternatives at this moment

a) To set the user name to the required schema. This has the (little)
drawback that forces user configuration for every schema...
b) To manually do something like the JDBC driver you mention, but it
triggers some questions
b.1) To execute the set search_path one must be connected, database name
included. I think by that time, the default schema is determined. Or I
am wrong, am I?
b.2) The search_path is valid for the database or restricted to the
connection?

Thank you
