-Explicit Qualification
-----------------------
-
-As of ``v5.0``, PostgREST executes a ``SET SCHEMA <your-exposed-schema>`` on each request, since this overrides the `search_path <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/ddl-schemas.html#DDL-SCHEMAS-PATH>`_, function bodies need qualified schema names for any database object that is not in your exposed schema.
-
-.. code-block:: plpgsql
-
-  -- Assuming that:
-  -- exposed schema is "api"
-  -- ST_AsGeoJSON is in the "public" schema
-  -- streets is in the "api" schema
-  CREATE FUNCTION api.sample() RETURNS json AS $$
-    SELECT public.ST_AsGeoJSON(geom)::json FROM streets LIMIT 1;
-    -- Notice streets doesn't need the schema prefix while ST_AsGeoJSON does
-  $$ LANGUAGE sql;
-
-To avoid having to qualify many database objects, you can add a ``search_path`` to the function:
-
-.. code-block:: plpgsql
-
-  CREATE FUNCTION api.sample_distance() RETURNS float8 AS $$
-    SELECT ST_MakePoint(1, 1) <-> ST_MakePoint(10, 10);
-    -- If the search_path is not specified, this would have to be:
-    -- SELECT public.ST_MakePoint(1, 1) operator(public.<->) public.ST_MakePoint(10, 10);
-  $$ LANGUAGE sql SET search_path = public, api;
-
-  -- existing functions can be altered to add a search_path
-  ALTER FUNCTION api.make_point(float8, float8) SET search_path = public, api;
