Syntax options: MULTISCHEMA IS ON | MULTISCHEMA IS OFF Specifies the multischema attribute for the database. If a database has the multischema attribute, you can create multiple schemas in that database and group them within catalogs. The MULTISCHEMA IS ON option is the default for databases created with the multischema attribute. MULTISCHEMA IS OFF is the default for databases created without the multischema attribute. You can create a database using the CREATE DATABASE MULTISCHEMA IS ON clause, but you cannot use ALTER DATABASE MULTISCHEMA IS OFF to take away the multischema attribute. Once a database has the multischema attribute, you cannot change it.
