Looking at the large picture I get the relationship of schemas vs. tables. But...looking at the table provided in the book I'm getting confused. I see that all of the Names in the example below are tables in the database. So what is a schema?
Definition being used for schema is "A schema is a container that you can use to organize database objects. A schema is a way to organize the tables and object within the database." I don't see a separate container, I see a lot of separate tables in a database.
This seems to be implying that a schema is separate from tables sooo, what am I missing?
I'm reading Beginning T-SQL 2012, and using the AdventureWorks database
Name Schema Object
HumanResources.Employee HumanResources Employee
Sales.SalesOrderDetail Sales SalesOrderDetail
Person.Address Person Address
