+The main BTCPay Server database tables are part of the `public` schema.
+Plugins have their own schema, named after the plugin.
+
+By default, only the tables of the `public` schema are shown.
+If you want to also see and select the plugin tables, you need to extend the search path:
+
+```bash
+# list plugin schemas
+SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace WHERE nspname LIKE 'BTCPayServer.%';
+
+# extend search path
+SET search_path TO "BTCPayServer.Plugins.MyPlugin", public;
+
+# table list now also shows the MyPlugin tables
