Hi,
I need to create 2 schemas, schema1 and schema2 in database Mydb for two users User1 and User2.
For this, do we need to create the 2 logins for 2 users and then map the database Mydb and then create the Schema1 and assign to user1 & create Schema2 and assign to schema2?
How does this exactly works?

You can create them in either sequence. Schema first or login first.

So in either way login has be created right?

and what permissions need to be given to the login to create objects in that particular schema?

Lets say, I have created a login login1 and mapped that login to Mydb. Created a schema schema1 in Mydb and now I want to give rights to login1 to create objects in schema1.

Basically, I want that login1 to be the owner of that schema1 so that he can create all objects.

GRANT CREATE TABLE ON SCHEMA::MySchema TO MyUser

You'd need to do that for PROCEDURE, VIEW, etc.

Keep in mind that making someone a schema owner can have unintended consequences security-wise. Check the MSDN/BOL articles on GRANT with regards to schemas.

Perhaps you want to explain what you are trying to do in the database from a logical perspective, rather than saying you want a login to own a schema. What are you trying to accomplish business-wise?

Ok..our users are using Oracle database and they have their own schemas in it to create objects and they get data from production using dblinks and then do their reporting/ queries in their own schema. Similar thing they want to have it in SQL Server . So we are now using SQL Server 2008 and I want provide the same in SQL Server for the users.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Ah, a schema in Oracle roughly translates to a database in SQL Server. So it sounds like the users are used to having private working areas where they can do whatever they want. That would be seperate databases in the SQL Server world, but, I'd drill down on what they're doing and why because, depending on the number of users, you sure don't want to have to maintain 50-100 seperate databases.

You can as well create databases / schemas for themselves and than change ownership to their logins. You can do it in any order you want, database first, or ligins first.
