[GENERAL] Setting search_path ignored

[Guyren Howe]

CREATE ROLE thing_accessor;

CREATE ROLE

CREATE SCHEMA thing_accessor;

CREATE SCHEMA

covermything=> ALTER ROLE thing_accessor SET search_path=thing_accessor;

ALTER ROLE

covermything=# SET ROLE thing_accessor;

SET

covermything=> SHOW search_path;

   search_path

-----------------

 "$user", public

(1 row)



This seems to contradict all the advice I can find about setting the schema
search path.
