[MAPSERVER-USERS] Connection parameter errors while using Postgres DB Schema

[Carlos Ruiz]

Ritesh,
 
There's a way to stablish the default schema to a postgres user when it connects, maybe this can help you to pull the data from postgres.
 
To check what's the current default user's schema, you need to execute this:
 
SHOW search_path
 
It must throw $user, public
 
So, to set the default user's schema, you execute this:
 
ALTER USER <user_name> SET search_path TO <schema_name>
 
I suggest you to create a new role to connect to the database via map file, and then 
change its default schema.
 
Another thing (maybe this was the first step) is to check if the user postgres is the owner 
of the schema, and if it's not, then check if it haves the USAGE privilege on it.
 
Hope this information helps

IC Carlos Ruiz

Hey Venkat,

Thanks for the details. 
I understand the standard way to write a connection parameter. 

I am sure that this table "rgp_gis_gmm_100_metros" is stored in
"public"
schema of your database. 

My question is, what will you write if you keep this table in some other
schema?

Regards,
