Chapter: The Transact-SQL Language - An Introduction to Common Terms, Tools, and Techniques in TSQL
One of the challenging things anyone coming into SQL Server faces is trying to figure out which version of the word 'schema' someone is using at any given time. Example: 'You need to put the Person schema in the People schema inside your database schema' is a perfectly legitimate instruction but the word schema means three different things in that sentence!

So which 'version' of the word schema does this video talk about? The second version.

:)

Okay, okay - this video talks about the container-type of schema (#1 was an Xml schema Collection and #3 was a Database Schema).

Highlights from this video:
  • What are schemas? What are containers?
  • How are schemas used?
  • Should I use schemas?
  • What about schemas like db_owner, db_ddladmin, et al - is it safe to remove those?
  • Where should I put my schemas?
  • I'm upgrading from SQL Server 2000 to 2005/2008 - what is different between users, object owners, and schemas?
and much more
