Working with Schema
A database schema defines how data is organized in a relational database. With Exposed, you can create and drop a new or an existing schema.
Define a schema
To define a schema in Exposed, use the Schema class:
val schema = Schema("my_schema") // my_schema is the schema name.
Additionally, you can specify the schema owner by passing an authorization argument (some databases require the explicit owner) :
val schema = Schema("my_schema", authorization = "owner")
Create a new schema
To create a new schema, use the createSchema() method provided by SchemaUtils:
SchemaUtils.createSchema(schema)
Set a default schema
If you have many schemas, and you want to set a default one, you can use the setSchema() method from SchemaUtils:
SchemaUtils.setSchema(schema)
Drop a schema
To drop a schema, use the dropSchema() method provided by SchemaUtils:
SchemaUtils.dropSchema(schema)
