The Schema object represents a database schema. You can obtain an instance of Schema by calling the Session object's getSchema() method; you can also obtain a list of all available databases by calling getSchemas().

Schema supports the methods listed here:

• existsInDatabase(): Returns true if the schema exists, otherwise false.

• getTable(String name): Returns the Table having the specified name.

• getTables(): Returns a a list of tables (Table objects) existing within this Schema.

• getName(): Returns the name of the Schema (a String).

• getName(): Returns the Schema itself.

• getSession(): Returns the Session object corresponding to the current session.

The Schema object, along with its methods, was added in MySQL 9.2.0.
