It is kind of a "default schema". If you keep the standard configuration, then every user can access objects in this schema without specifying a schema name.

What could be the result? That shouldn't be a problem. It means that a) every user can create objects in this schema b) every user can access objects in this schema (IF the object allows it) Yours, Laurenz Albe ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
