Create a schema

A schema is the basic object in which tables, views, indexes, and packages are placed. For more information about creating a schema, see SQL CREATE SCHEMA statement in the SQL Reference topic.

Note: The term collection can be used synonymously with schema.

To create a sample schema named SAMPLECOLL, follow these steps:

Enter the following SQL statement on the Enter SQL Statements panel:

                             Enter SQL Statements
 
Type SQL statement, press Enter.
     Current connection is to relational database SYSTEM1
===> CREATE SCHEMA SAMPLECOLL_____________________________________________
     _____________________________________________________________________
     _____________________________________________________________________
     _____________________________________________________________________
                                                                  Bottom
F3=Exit   F4=Prompt   F6=Insert line   F9=Retrieve   F10=Copy line
F12=Cancel            F13=Services     F24=More keys

Press Enter.

Note: Running this statement causes several objects to be created and takes several seconds.

After you have successfully created a schema, you can create tables, views, and indexes in it. Tables, views, and indexes can also be created in libraries instead of schemas.
