Schema (and SchemaPlus) is a namespace used to look up object names when
validating a SQL query. It is not strictly required if you are building the
query manually, or using RelBuilder. The key is the TableScan objects (in this
case JdbcTableScan) representing accesses to tables.
Those tables could be foreign tables in the same schema, or in different
schemas, or be free-floating objects not in any schema at all. The important
thing is the instance of JdbcConvention in their TableScan.getTraitSet(). That
JdbcConvention contains the URL of the database, its dialect, etc. With
different JdbcConvention instances you could join a table in an Oracle database
to a table in a table in a SqlServer database or even in a different Oracle
database.
But if two tables are in the same Oracle database they must have the same
JdbcConvention instance. Otherwise Calcite will not consider creating a
JdbcJoin (i.e. a join inside the target database).
