How do we customise the tables that apalis will use?

[rakshith-ravi]

Is there a way to give apalis a table prefix or something that can be added to the table name, such that we can share the postgres tables with our main backend? This way, if we use a common connection string (frequently used in managed database services) with the main application backend (the primary data store for, say, user data), we can prevent collisions with table names.

Could you actually describe the issue you are facing? Have you given the setup a try? I ask that because apalis-postgres uses its own schema ie the jobs table is fixed at apalis.jobs. This should ensure you dont have any conflicts.

I will admit that I have not tried running it locally because I was worried that it might mess with my local testing data (took me a lot of time to setup my local db). I wanted to try giving it a prefix before I set it up, but wasn't able to find anything in the docs.

Thanks for the info about the schema separation. Perhaps this should be added to docs.rs? Happy to put a PR for this if you'd like
