The SQL7 way is the schema is the username, with the exception of "dba" -
it's used as a "global" schema.

Sorry for my poor understanding.
What I meant was that SQL92 allows the following.

	schema		owner
	---------------------------
	schema1	user1
	schema2	user1
	schema3	user2
	schema4	user3
	schema5	user3
	schema6	user3

Is my understaning same as yours ?
