Specifically to the question of schema pathing, why would you want it to
be session-settable? Either your DB app is designed to work w/ schemas, or
it isn't. That's a pretty fundamental design concept. Given that, I don't
see how it can make sense to try to operate in the opposite mode as the
app was designed for - that'll only lead to chaos.

Take care,

Bill
