Schemas act as namespaces that group tables, views, functions, and other objects. In a fresh database you will find <code>public</code> and a set of system schemas. In a larger application database you may find dozens of application schemas, one per tenant, or schemas that separate different parts of the codebase.</p> <p>Knowing which schemas exist and who owns them is a basic but essential administrative task. These queries give you that information quickly.</p>
