Selecting database for CSV uploads

Hello, we have a self-hosted Metabase set up with an instance of Postgres.

We'd like to use the CSV upload feature, but would like to understand whether we require another Postgres instance just for uploads, or whether it is okay to use the existing Postgres instance that already powers Metabase. Is using the existing instance recommended?

you can create a separate logical database inside the postgres and use that one (you need to connect it as a data source)

Thank you for the timely reply. That is what we'll do.

Hi Luiggi, it seems that CSV can only be uploaded in one schema, there is a woraround (other than changing every time Metabase general settings) di upload data in a desired schema?
As datasources we are using different PosgreSQL databases, even in different instances, with multiple dedicated schemas.
grazie
