How to set default 'schema' in Pointbase?

Question

I am using Netbeans EA2 with bundled appserv. I have tried creating a CMP entity bean from the Pointbase sample database (PBPUBLIC), which works. But when i created my own database (MYDATABASE) in Pointbase and a CMP bean for my test-table, i get a SQLException: Invalid table name "Mytable" specified at position 147.
This exception is thrown when i run "findByPrimaryKey" on my tablebean's home.
I think i have narrowed the problem down to this:
When I execute sql-commands on my db, I have to write
Select * from "MYDATABASE"."Mytable"
If i try to execute
Select * from "Mytable"
i get an error. (Invalid table name)
Whereas when i execute commands on the Pointbase sample db (PBPUBLIC), both these sql's work:
select * from "PBPUBLIC"."CUSTOMER_TBL"
and
select * from "CUSTOMER_TBL"
My questions are
1. How do i specify that "MYDATABASE" should the default schema in my database?
is it possible at all? I have tried searching the pointbase docs, and looked in Pointbase Commander, but have found nothing.
2. If I was going to fully qualify, that is, use "MYDATABASE"."Mytable" everytime i query the database, how and where do i specify that my entity bean should map betweed my dbschema and "MYDATABASE"."Mytable" ? Writing
<table-name>MYDATABASE.Mytable</table-name> in sun-cmp-mappings.xml did not work (but that was no suprise)
Is it not possible to fully qualify the tablename when using entity ejb's?
the error i get is similar to the one in this thread, except that my dbschema name is correct.

I have tried creating a new dbschema in Netbeans, and editing sun-cmp-mappings.xml to point to the new dbschema. But i still get the same error.
And btw, i know that my database is available, cause when i try to get the DataSource for my db directly, and execute a query, it works. But i have to fully qualify the tablename.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks.

I solved using the SET PATH statement.
SET PATH your_default_schema, PointBase;
Follow an extract from the PointBase Developer�s Guide:
If you never execute a SET PATH statement, then the CURRENT_PATH consists of the
schema POINTBASE, followed by your existing schema. When a SET PATH statement is
issued, it completely replaces the existing CURRENT_PATH, unless CURRENT_PATH is part
of the schemas being set in the path.
The order of the schemas in the path is generally crucial. When the database system is looking
for SQL objects, it looks for them in each schema (unless explicitly referenced otherwise),
starting with the first schema in the path, then the next, etc...., until an SQL object is found that
meets the criteria. One way to override the CURRENT_PATH is to explicitly reference the
SQL object. For example, to reference a table, you can specify schema_name.table_name. In
the above examples, the SQL object of table_name would be searched in the schema of name
schema_name.
I hope this helps,
