Specify DB Schema for Collections When Table Already Exists

[brunowego]

I'm evaluating Payload as an "Internal Tool" and have set the default schema to payload. However, in my public schema, I already have existing tables that I’d like to use in collections. It would be great to specify the schema directly in the collection configuration, allowing Payload to work with existing tables without requiring migration or duplication.

This would improve integration with databases that already have a predefined structure. Is there currently a way to configure this? If not, are there any plans to support this functionality?
