Setting Oracle Schema

At present, when I write Oracle SQL in .net, I have to embed the schema name
as a prefix for all of the table names so I end up with code like "select *
from " + GetSchemaName() + ".mytable". It would be much neater if I could
change the schema for the connection. I could add a "alter session set
current_schema="+GetSchemaName() every time a connection is opened, however
as we open a new connection for almost every statement (and rely on
connection pooling), this would double the number of db round trips.

Is there any other way of setting the current schema without a round trip or
only only running the "alter session" command when the connection is a new
connection rather than one in the pool (I presume this would work)?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Isn't it so that if you connect with a user which can see only its own
schema, you don't have to prefix table names with the schema name?
