5.4 Special registers
In the Special Registers tab, you can specify the current schema and path that you want to
use to run the SQL or XQuery statements against.
The Current schema register is used when you deploy and run database objects with your
SQL scripts. It resolves unqualified database object references. By default, the database
name from the current connection profile on the Configuration tab will be displayed if your
SQL does not specify a schema. To change it, click the Select button, then select a
different schema in the Select a schema window, as shown in Figure 5.28.

The Current path register is used when you deploy and run database objects with your
SQL scripts. It resolves unqualified function names, procedure names, data type names,
global variable names, and module object names in dynamically prepared SQL statements.
You can add schemas to the current path by clicking the Select button, as shown in Figure
5.29. Select one or more from the Select schemas window that opens.
