Take the 2-minute tour ×  Is the schema for a table and the
owner for a table the same in oracle? If not what is the
difference?  share|improve this question  2 Answers 2  up vote 1
down vote accepted  As Tom says:  You should consider a schema
to be the user account and collection of all objects therein as
a schema for all intents and purposes.  A table created by a
user - and therefore owned by that user, as the owner in
all_tables for example - forms part of that user's schema. So
yes, the owner and schema are the same.  Also see this earlier
question, which references the same AskTom post, and also
highlights this line from it:  for all intents and purposes just
consider user = schema = user = schema = the same thing

table are technically identical.  If you talk about a schema you
usually refer to all objects owned by a user, but when you say
user it often means only someone who can connect to the
database. But this is just language use - again,
