How to set default postgresql schema for laravel?

Question

I created new postgresql user:

CREATE ROLE lara_user SUPERUSER LOGIN PASSWORD 'mypassword';

Then create schema which is owned by this user

CREATE schema lara AUTHORIZATION lara_user;

In Laravel's .env file I have

DB_DATABASE=postgres
DB_USERNAME=lara_user
DB_PASSWORD=mypassword

Laravel don't sees schema lara and still connected to public schema.

How can I change and set default schema lara for Laravel ?

Answer 1

in app/config/database.php

'pgsql' => array(
            'driver'   => 'pgsql',
            'host'     => 'localhost',
            'database' => 'forge',
            'username' => 'forge',
            'password' => '',
            'charset'  => 'utf8',
            'prefix'   => '',
            'schema'   => 'public',
        ),

in new version of laravel change

'schema'   => 'public',

to

'search_path' => 'public',
