Issue

  • It was observed that as soon as the Liferay portal starts creating tables and populating with default data (in the new PostgreSQL 15.2 database), the below error prevents it from doing so:
    ERROR: no schema has been selected to create

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • The error ("no schema has been selected to create") usually occurs when there are some permission-related issues with the database.
  • Hence, connecting with the respective database team and providing the required permissions might help to resolve the issue.
