MS SQL Server Interview Question:

How To Create a New Table in a Given Schema?

Submitted by: Administrator

When you create a new table, you can specify in which schema you want this table to be located by prefixing the table name with the schema name. In the tutorial example below, a new table "test" is created in schema "ggl":

USE GlobalGuideLineDatabase;
GO

CREATE TABLE ggl.test (id INT);
GO
Command(s) completed successfully.

SELECT t.name AS table_name, t.type_desc,
s.name AS schema_name
FROM sys.tables t, sys.schemas s
WHERE t.schema_id = s.schema_id
AND t.name = 'test';
GO
table_name type_desc schema_name
----------- ----------- ------------
test USER_TABLE ggl

The last query confirms that table "test" is inside schema "ggl".
