postgres \dt functionality change from v9.4 to 9.6?

Question

I have a postgres 9.4 database and when I use the:

\dt 

command, tables in the 'public' schema, and other user-created schemas are shown.

I have the exact same database on a Postgres 9.6 server and when I use:

\dt

only the tables in the 'public' schema are shown, and in order to see tables in the other user-created schema, i have to use:

\dt schemaname.* 

to see those tables. Is this a difference between 9.4 and 9.6, or any i missing something else. permissions?

Answer 1

Check the search_path for each user you're trying to check on.

SHOW search_path;

If they're different you can set them with SET search_path TO mySchema, public;
