How do you add a new schema to a database? I am creating a new table and would like to select my own schema from the properties list, but I don't know how to create it. I am using SQL Server Management 2008.
Right-click the Security folder, point to New, and select Schema. In the Schema - New dialog box, on the General page, enter a name for the new schema in the Schema name box. In the Schema owner box, enter the name of a database user or role to own the schema.
To import schema from the export script, use the Schema Import Wizard. To call the Schema Import Wizard and import the schema from the export script: On the Database menu, point to Export & Import, and then click Schema Import. Select an export script file to import and a target schema.
Creates a schema in the current database. The CREATE SCHEMA transaction can also create tables and views within the new schema, and set GRANT, DENY, or REVOKE permissions on those objects. Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions.
A SQL schema is a useful database concept. It helps us to create a logical grouping of objects such as tables, stored procedures, and functions.
Use the CREATE SCHEMA syntax or, in SSMS, drill down through Databases -> YourDatabaseName -> Security -> Schemas. Right-click on the Schemas folder and select "New Schema..."
Here's a trick to easily check if the schema already exists, and then create it, in it's own batch, to avoid the error message of trying to create a schema when it's not the only command in a batch.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata WHERE schema_name = 'newSchemaName' ) BEGIN EXEC sp_executesql N'CREATE SCHEMA NewSchemaName;'; END
