Database Schema

Database schemas are analogous to directories at the operating system level, except that schemas cannot be nested.

Typical schemas usage scenarios:

• To allow many users to use one database without interfering with each other.
• To organize database objects into logical groups to make them more manageable.
• Third-party applications can be put into separate schemas so they do not collide with the names of other objects.

Examples:

• GRANT USAGE ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA your_schema TO mygrp;
• GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA your_schema TO GROUP your_group;

PostgreSQL:

• Show/List schemas: select nspname from pg_catalog.pg_namespace;
