Schema Isolation
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
A PostgREST instance exposes all the tables, views, and functions of a single `PostgreSQL schema <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-schemas.html>`_ (a namespace of database objects). This means private data or implementation details can go inside different private schemas and be invisible to HTTP clients.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended that you don't expose tables on your API schema. Instead expose views and functions which insulate the internal details from the outside world.
|
|
This allows you to change the internals of your schema and maintain backwards compatibility. It also keeps your code easier to refactor, and provides a natural way to do API versioning.
