The database stores order/transaction information.  Most of the
activity is inserts, with some selects (web based reports on
transactions), and infrequent updates.  I have thought long and hard
about just using one schema, but I really like the extra layers of
separation that the schema provides.   I kind of anticipated possible
issues so all of our tables are designed to work fine in just one
schema,  and our queries are written as if the schema didn't exist
except for prepending the schema name to every query.
