In a database, the schema is the structure that defines the organization of data. It describes the database objects, such as tables, views, stored procedures, indexes, triggers, and functions, and how they relate to one another. Here I want to show steps on how to create DB Schema in MS SQL using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. And in the end, you can check the SQL statement to do the same.
Step 1 – Navigate to Schemas
Using the Object Explorer navigate to MyDatabase -> Security -> Schemas -> New Schema
Step 2 – Set Schema Name and Owner
In the ‘Scheme – New’ dialog you need to set the ‘Schema name’ and ‘Schema owner’. In our case I typed ‘persons’ and by clicking the ‘Search…’ button I set ‘dbo’(default) user as an owner. Don’t forget to click on ‘Check Names’ to pick the correct user.
Result:
Create Schema Using the SQL Command
Here is the second way to create a schema. In the query window use the following statement:
CREATE SCHEMA [schema_name] AUTHORIZATION [owner_name]
For our example it would be:
USE [YarkulTestDb1] GO CREATE SCHEMA [person] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]
