## Use a non-default schema
In most cases, the default schema is `public`. To have Better Auth use a
non-default schema (e.g., `auth`) for its tables,
set the PostgreSQL user's default schema before generating or migrating:
```sql
ALTER USER authuser SET SEARCH_PATH TO auth;
```
alternatively, append the option to your connection URI, for example:
```
postgres://<DATABASE_URL>?option=-c search_path=auth
```
URL-encode if needed: `?option=-c%20search_path%3Dauth`.
Ensure the target schema exists and the database user has the required permissions.
## Additional Information
PostgreSQL is supported under the hood via the [Kysely](https://kysely.dev/) adapter, any database supported by Kysely would also be supported. (<Link href="/docs/adapters/other-relational-databases">Read more here</Link>)
