PostgreSQL models now live in schema/{schema}/*.dart, with the directory selecting their database schema. MySQL, MariaDB and SQLite use schema/*.dart. Both layouts are nonrecursive, accept an optional sibling schema.dart, and share the CLI/build_runner generation pipeline.

When PostgreSQL models use a non-default schema, the client exposes db.public.user and db.auth.user, with distinct generated row types. Default-only clients keep db.user. Physical schema and table names stay separate, mixed-case names are quoted exactly, and dotted model table names are rejected.

Important

This is a beta breaking change. PostgreSQL table identities now include the namespace, including public. Old unqualified snapshots are not automatically normalized or preserved by a compatibility layer. A generated replacement requires explicit destructive opt-in and recreates the affected tables, deleting their rows; data retention needs an explicitly authored migration. Schema moves require explicit source and target namespaces. Regenerated clients also require reissuing persisted cursor tokens that used unqualified identities.

  • Carry namespaces through CRUD, cross-schema relations, catalog verification, migration diffs, table moves, backfills, cursors and change subscriptions.
  • Qualify generated PostgreSQL table references and internal pg_catalog probes. Create required schemas through reviewed migrations; never drop a schema automatically. Frozen historical files are not rewritten.
  • Detect conflicting models and generated names. Keep physical snapshots stable when files move within the same schema. Support real build_runner build/watch at custom roots without a placeholder source file; reject output paths that would become schema inputs on a later run.
  • Reject empty, dotted or NUL-containing table/schema names and foreign-key target components when constructing manual metadata, before query binding or change tracking.
  • Document public layouts, generated names, engine limits and breaking upgrade requirements. MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite still describe one configured database; raw SQL retains its explicit SQL/session semantics.

Validation

  • Real PostgreSQL tests cover repeated table names, cross-schema relations, explicit schema moves, destructive replacement opt-in, mixed-case names, search_path/temporary-table isolation, and shadow catalog/helper objects.
  • Real build_runner build/watch at lib/fixture/schema verifies add/delete/rename handling, CLI parity and analysis of emitted code.
  • Windows filesystem and URL asset path contexts are tested independently. Directory builders consistently use URL paths; a full Windows OS integration run has not been performed.
  • Local native regression, targeted migration/recovery/backfill suites, Chrome JavaScript and WebAssembly, formatting, analysis and Dartdoc validation have passed during development.
  • Final-head CI passed for 451078d168e572a5f1480be6e838195e41163d52: SQLite, PostgreSQL 18, MySQL 8.4 and MariaDB 11.8 completed 1,265 tests with 41 expected platform/capability skips. Chrome JS/WASM, formatting, analysis, Dartdoc and committed asset checks also passed.
  • Codex completed review of that exact commit with a thumbs-up and no remaining findings. All CodeRabbit findings were addressed, and every review thread is resolved.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds directory-based schema discovery and PostgreSQL schema namespaces. Generated clients, snapshots, migrations, queries, cursors, watches, CLI commands, builders, documentation, and tests now preserve qualified table identities.

Changes

Schema discovery and generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Directory discovery and generation
lib/src/generate/..., lib/src/cli/..., lib/src/generate/build.dart, build.yaml, test/schema_layout_test.dart, test/schema_builder_test.dart
Schema roots can use files or directories. PostgreSQL directories map subdirectories to namespaces. CLI and builder generation accept database engines and stable directory layouts.
Namespace model and client emission
lib/src/generate/model.dart, lib/src/generate/schema/reader.dart, lib/src/generate/emitter.dart, lib/src/schema/model.dart
Tables and foreign keys carry namespace identities. Generated clients expose namespace-aware accessors and qualified relations.
Qualified migrations and queries
lib/src/migrate/..., lib/src/query/..., lib/src/orm/...
Migration SQL, catalog inspection, snapshots, query rendering, cursors, change tracking, and watches use schema-qualified identities.
Documentation and package support
doc/..., CHANGELOG.md, pubspec.yaml, assets/sqlite/..., AGENTS.md
Documentation describes schema layouts and breaking identity behavior. Package metadata and the SQLite worker artifact are updated.

A rabbit maps each schema path,
With tables hopping side by side.
Qualified names guard every query,
While builders keep the roots aligned.
Migrations mark each namespace,
And cursors know where rows reside.

🟡 Minor · Use table.identity in namespace-aware diagnostics. · columns.dart:232

lib/src/migrate/columns.dart:232
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use table.identity in namespace-aware diagnostics.

inspectColumns now reads the selected namespace, but these messages still use table.name. Drift in auth.Users and public.Users therefore produces indistinguishable Users.* messages.

Replace both uses with table.identity.

Also applies to: 262-262
