Hi,

I'm pondering a design question for a subscription-based web-app we are developing. Would it be feasible to create a new schema per user account,
setting the search_path to their own schema during login?

We're looking at something similar here at work, but in the 10k to 10M
range of schemas.  I'll let you know how our testing goes.

1,000 is nothing in terms of schemas.  You should be fine.

I'd be *very* interested to hear your experiences once you get some results.

Generally though, what made you consider such a solution? Same advantages as I mentioned? One thing I'm a bit usure of how best to solve is where to place the "users" or some such table for authentication and other "shared" info -- simply in the "public" schema, perhaps?

\a.
