The Schema Debate

There was quite a bit of debate over the use of schemas recently on the Internet. Steve Jones talks about some of the reasons why you might want a schema, and a few reasons why you might not.

Breaking ownership chaining within a schema in SQL Server

I have several objects, all in the same schema. Because of this, ownership chaining is working, as described in this previous tip. However, I don't want ownership chaining to be on, but I need the objects to remain in the same schema. How can I do this?

Granting limited permissions to create views in another schema in SQL Server - Part 2

In a previous tip, Granting limited permissions to create views in another schema in SQL Server, I showed how to use the CREATE VIEW permission and the ALTER SCHEMA permission to allow users to create new views using the same schema as the tables. However, I have found that the users can alter and drop tables in this schema which is beyond what I want them to do. A DENY CREATE TABLE does not work, so what can I do to prevent them from touching the tables in this way? In this tip I will show you how you can use a DDL trigger to prevent this unneeded access.

SQL Server Best Practices - Implementation of Database Object Schemas

SQL Server 2005 implemented the concept of a database object schema. A schema is a distinct namespace to facilitate the separation, management, and ownership of database objects. It removed the tight coupling of database objects and owners to improve the security administration of database objects. Database object schemas offer functionality to control and help secure application objects within a database environment not available in previous versions of SQL Server.
