The documentation says: The view schemata contains all schemas in the
current database that are owned by a currently enabled role.
In other words: this view only displays schemas that are *owned* by
your user, or roles that your current user inherits from (superuser
sees everything of course). Sadly it doesn't list visible/accessible
schemas.
I think this is pretty surprising; not sure if it's just bad legacy or
if there is some good reason for this behavior. I couldn't find any
justification in the source code.
I think we should add a TODO item for fixing this?
Regards,
Marti
