Schema with DBI::Id appears not to work with `dbListTables`

[abalter]

I'm using the RPostgres::Postgres() driver. I can't get DBI to respect schema without using SQL. These two give different results:

dbListTables(con, Id(schema='prp049'))

dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='prp049'")

I don't know what I could do to make a reprex here.

Thanks. Can you use dbListObjects() ?

library(DBI)
con <- DBI::dbConnect(RPostgres::Postgres())

dbExecute(con, "create schema if not exists test;")
#> [1] 0
dbWriteTable(con, Id(schema = "test", table = "iris"), iris, overwrite = TRUE)
dbListObjects(con, DBI::Id(schema = "test"))
#>                              table is_prefix
#> 1 <Id> schema = test, table = iris     FALSE
dbExecute(con, "drop schema test cascade")
#> NOTICE:  drop cascades to table test.iris
#> [1] 0
dbDisconnect(con)

This might be broken still, or again. We switched to unnamed components in Id(), tracking in r-dbi/DBItest#340 and r-dbi/DBItest#367.

This might be broken still, or again.

FWIW dbListObjects() works with named Id() as prefix, but does not (i.e. returns an empty result!) with an unnamed Id().

library(RPostgres)
con <- dbConnect(Postgres())
dbExecute(con, "create schema if not exists test;")
#> [1] 0
dbWriteTable(con, Id(schema = "test", table = "iris"), iris, overwrite = TRUE)
dbListObjects(con, Id(schema = "test"))
#>                table is_prefix
#> 1 <Id> "test"."iris"     FALSE
dbListObjects(con, Id("test"))
#> [1] table     is_prefix
#> <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
dbExecute(con, "drop schema test cascade")
#> NOTICE:  drop cascades to table test.iris
#> [1] 0
dbDisconnect(con)

BTW This is the same for RMariaDB.

Yeah, dbListObjects() can't work with unnamed Id() . The function will still return named "Id" objects that can be consumed.
