Can you copy by schema?

That's pretty much it.  You can give each user their own namespace so
they can all create tables with the same name, or put applications in
their own namespace so they don't conflict with other applications. 
You can also control object creation easier by restricting privs on the
public namespace.

[SQL] What benefits can I expect from schemas ?

2003-01-08 Thread Bob Lapique
Hi,

I could not find much documentation about SQL 92 schemas that version
7.3 now supports. I understood it was a structure to group various
objects, which allows faster privilege management, namespaces
definition.
Besides that, I don't see any advantages. I'd be glad if someone could
point them out for me, or give doc links.

Thanks.
