Re: How to add function schema in search_path in option definitio

eh.. yes to be honest what I create is more similar to an extension rather
than a package, I don't believe to be able to create extensions in cloud
sql (the actual target db).

However , is there a way to share this preliminar "extension" with the
community?
I'm interested to discuss about solution used

For example: the software creates a custom type to manage bitemporality and
audit_record inline for each table; but another approach is to use a
primitive table inherited by all tables.
I'm quite sure the composite type has one or two fields I can remove.
etc :-D
