postgresqlHow do I create a schema in PostgreSQL?

Creating a schema in PostgreSQL is a simple process. First, connect to your database using the psql command line interface. Then, use the CREATE SCHEMA command to create your schema. An example of this command is shown below:

CREATE SCHEMA myschema;

This command will create a new schema named myschema.

You can also specify a name for the owner of the schema using the AUTHORIZATION clause. For example:

CREATE SCHEMA myschema AUTHORIZATION username;

This command will create a new schema named myschema, and set the owner of the schema to the user username.

You can also specify a default character set and collation to use when creating objects in the schema. For example:

CREATE SCHEMA myschema DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

This command will create a new schema named myschema, and set the default character set and collation to utf8 and utf8_general_ci respectively.

You can also specify a comment for the schema using the COMMENT clause. For example:

CREATE SCHEMA myschema COMMENT 'This is my schema';

This command will create a new schema named myschema, and set the comment to This is my schema.

Finally, you can also specify whether the schema should be created in a specific tablespace using the TABLESPACE clause. For example:

CREATE SCHEMA myschema TABLESPACE mytablespace;

This command will create a new schema named myschema, and set the tablespace to mytablespace.
