hey All~

Does anyone know to explain "Schema"? Give an clear and simple explaination. In SQL, schema shows who own the objects. But in another website: Schema is the structure of a database system, described in a formal language supported by the database management system (DBMS). In a relational database, the schema defines the tables, the fields in each table, and the relationships between fields and tables.

Can Anyone help?

best reards,
JK
