Specifies the default schema name for the module. The default schema is the schema to which SQL statements refer if those statements do not qualify table names and other schema names with an authorization identifier. If you do not specify a default schema name for a module, you must specify a default authorization identifier. Using the SCHEMA clause, separate modules can each declare different schemas as default schemas. This can be convenient for an application that needs to refer to more than one schema. By putting SQL statements that refer to a schema in the appropriate module's procedures, you can minimize tedious qualification of schema element names in those statements. When you specify SCHEMA schema-name AUTHORIZATION auth-id, you specify the schema name and the schema authorization identifier for the module. The schema authorization identifier is considered the owner and creator of the schema and everything in it.
