Schema - Do you avoid using user-schema separation?

Last updated by ChristianMWaite about 4 years ago.See history

User-schema separation allows more flexibility by adding another level of naming and shifting ownership of database objects to the schema, not the user. So, is it worth doing? Unless you are working with a very large database (100+ tables), the answer is "no". Most smaller databases have all objects with owner "dbo", which is fine in most cases.
