Schema
Overview
A Schema is an AnalyticsCreator design object that provides a namespace and configuration context inside a layer.
It groups tables, transformations, references, and package-related definitions that belong to the same warehouse area.
Function
Use schemas to organize generated database objects and to define the context in which table and transformation entities are maintained.
The schema type influences which branches and actions are available, such as imports, historizations, exports, transformations, tables, and references.
