Sql-server – Table not getting created under dbo schema

sql serversql-server-2008-r2

When creating tables in SSMS, I've realized that if you execute the following statement:

CREATE TABLE [tableName];

the table will be created under your own schema (and not dbo). So in order to create it under the dbo schema, you'll need to explicitly say so, like this:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tableName];

Does anyone know of a way (eg. server-wide setting) so that when a table is created, the [dbo] part doesn't need to be specified?

Best Answer

The schema that will be used when schema is omitted will be the default schema of the database user. Therefore, to have dbo schema have the created table without specifying, you'd have to set that database user's default schema to dbo.

Server-wide setting? I don't think so. But you could write a query to convert all database users in a particular database to their default schema changed to dbo if that's what you so choose.

That's because you also need to grant the CREATE TYPE permission on the database to the particular principle(s).

Please see this BOL reference on CREATE TYPE:

Requires CREATE TYPE permission in the current database and ALTER permission on schema_name.

grant create type
to [U];
go

Sql-server – Do I need to explicitly grant permissions for a login under the sysadmin role for it to access a custom schema

No, members of the Sysadmin role or the database owner role bypass the permission checking algorithm. So no matter what permission are granted or denied , they are able to always access the objects.
