SET PATH

Synopsis

SET PATH path-element[, ...]

Description

Define a collection of paths to functions or table functions in specific catalogs and schemas for the current session.

Each path-element uses a period-separated syntax to specify the catalog name and schema location <catalog>.<schema> of the function, or only the schema location <schema> in the current catalog. The current catalog is set with USE, or as part of a client tool connection. Catalog and schema must exist.

Examples

The following example sets a path to access functions in the system schema of the example catalog:

SET PATH example.system;

The catalog uses the PostgreSQL connector, and you can therefore use the query table function directly, without the full catalog and schema qualifiers:

SELECT
  *
FROM
  TABLE(
    query(
      query => 'SELECT
        *
      FROM
        tpch.nation'
    )
  );
