Creating Schemas 

Use

We recommend that you create a new schema by copying an existing schema. This ensures that all schema elements are also copied. If there is no point in copying an existing schema and then changing it to meet your requirements, you can create a new schema instead.

Prerequisites

A schema can only be created under a particular name if no standard schema already exists with this name. When creating a new schema, see the notes on the assignment of names for standard and customer schemas.
