Description
Rather than append App_ before every table in PostgreSQL, you should use Schemas http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/ddl-schemas.html. That's what they're there for, and it makes the database much more readable.

Both PostgreSQL and Oracle support schemas, it should also be supported by django. I want to use this application but can not in it's current form.

Please provide an implementation if you'd like to see this feature in Django.

Using schemas for each app would make little sense as you'd just end up with a bunch of schemas. Optional support for schemas -- a la #1051 -- is a much better idea.

This isn't a big enough problem to merit the special-casing of PostgreSQL. We've used the current method for a couple of years and haven't had any problems.
